Stella,

I know several families who recommend the pediatric dentist group at Oakridge mall. Their offices are very close to Dr. DeLevie's office but unfortunately I can't remember the name offhand.

I highly recommend you watch the video at this link. Warning to parents, this is not for the faint at heart.

http://www.autismspeaks.org/sponsoredevents/autism_every_day.php

This is a video called "Autism Every Day" put out by Autism Speaks. It very clearly documents the challenges and struggles faced by families living with autism. It is a very powerful piece of work. Share it with you MP, your MLA, your teachers, your family and perhaps it will bring them a few inches closer to understanding your life.

There are a couple of items that would be helpful for the rally on the 17th. Do you have:

To all Parents and Supporters who have submitted Autism Petitions to their MPs.

Please take a moment to download the media advisory about the upcoming rally on November 17th and send it to your MP along with a request that they join Andrew Kavchak on the Hill that day.

They need to get this message from their constituents!

The media advisory is available on the front page of http://www.canadaautism.com

Thanks all!

re: homeowners grant. My understanding is that it does not apply to our situation. I looked into it last year. Basically, the grant is intended to offset any additional costs you may have incurred in order to modify your home to accomodate the disabled person living there. Things like ramps and elevators etc.

Hi Keith,

Your situation is unique and requires some pretty lengthy answers. Please pass along your direct email address to me at himright@telus.net and I will provide some suggestions to you. There are some things you could try to accomplish in Vancouver this summer and they will require some planning.

I regret to say that it sounds like the situation in Japan is approaching the dark ages when it comes to autism treatment. You may need to consider importing your expertise. Many of us in BC do that, bringing people in from the US.
