Hi my name is Jason and my wifes name is Sacha.
Our 7 year old son Austin was diagnosed with Aspergers on June 20 2006. We always knew he was special but has been flying under the radar.
His school this year has been pushing add or and adhd on us but it wasnt until Jan of this year(2 weeks before his add/adhd testing) that Sacha saw a documentary on Aspergers, it gave her reality chills, it was our son they were describing.
Finally he was diagnosed it was pressure taken of our backs, until the next day when we realized that we were on our own. That day was a whirlwind of phone numbers, dead ends and no help from anyone until I got in contact with Sabrina. She saved me from a breakdown last night and gave me all the info to get started on our journey to make my sons life a better place for him to be in. We also visited the Autism Society of BC on Hastings in Vancouver and found them to be very nice and joined their library which has alot of books that Im sure will be very helpfull in the future. Thank you from new members Jason, Sacha, Austin, and little brother Andon

Hi Everyone:

My 13-year-old daughter, Kaelynn, entered an essay contest. We were notified today that she has won First Place. There is an awards ceremony in Douglas Park on September 30, 3006 where she receives her award. I am posting the essay for you all to read. If the politicians could see through the eyes of this teenager life would be better for so many.

Everybody Belongs:
The Heart of the Boy
“LEAVE ME ALONE! GEEZ YOU’RE SO STUPID!” This is just one of many MINOR melt-downs that Christian may experience. Confused? Let me rewind. This essay is about a day in the life of my little brother Christian. Christian has Aspergers Syndrome which is just another way of saying he is mildly autistic. Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder that effects how Christian, and other children like him, learn and relate to others. The best thing someone with this disorder can do is learn how to cope with it, and learn how to control their behavior and their thought process. People with this disorder don’t learn the same as other people, so they must find another way. Because of his disability, Christian has a hard time making friends. Some people view him as different because of his melt-downs. Melt-downs are his way of expressing his frustration. This saddens me, because people don’t accept him as easily as they should, and their only reason is because he’s different. This isn’t to say that he doesn’t have ANY friends. He has a few, and he treasures them like precious gems. Chris loves his family more than anything, because he feels safe and secure with us. At school, Christian has many teachers and Teacher Assistants who help him to learn. One T.A immediately comes to mind. Her name is Mrs.Kempf, and she has worked wonders with helping Chris. She has built a strong structure for Christian to lean on, and to learn from. The one thing that brings a huge smile to my face immediately is seeing Mrs.Kempf and Christian together, because no matter how many melt-downs he may have in one day, and no matter how major they are, she never loses sight of the heart of the boy. Mrs.Kempf has helped Christian in ways my family never thought possible.

Christian is an amazing child with wonderful gifts and blessings to offer the world. If the world wasn’t so judgmental, and would take the time to get to know him, they would learn of these gifts, because they would have seen the heart of the boy. We all have to live in this world, and Everybody, including my little brother Christian, Belongs.

I Love You Christian!

** Therapist Opportunity in Cloverdale near Willowbrook Mall**

Our team is looking to add another member or two to work with an adorable and smiley four year old boy. He has been in the program for over a year and is doing fabulously. Experience is not necessary as training will be provided. This is a great team to be on, especially if you are just starting out in ABA, as the programs are fun and focus on social skills.

If interested, please contact me at Kdedieu@sfu.ca

Thankyou.
