(Co-facilitators for ASBC North Shore Group)ParticipantTodd,
About Mike Lewis: You can help him by directing all your Facebook friends in West Vancouver to his page.
About Tamara Leger: She is one of the best things that has ever happened to the autism community in our province. I would endorse her for just about anything.
About Cyndi Gerlach: She is a nice person, but in the past she has openly (even proudly) opposed ABA treatment. Parents who use ABA must vote very carefully.

ParticipantThe National, CBC's flagship nightly newscast hosted by Peter Mansbridge, has proven itself completely worthless to anyone who has any respect for truth.
Here is the piece of garbage they have recently produced:
http://www.cbc.ca/national/blog/special_feature/positively_autistic/
It is important to note that Michelle Dawson is a self-proclaimed "autistic" who has never had a formal diagnosis. A newspaper report has revealed that she has supposedly "self-diagnosed" herself. Much evidence suggests she is an opportunist who is seeking profit and attention by exploiting public ignorance about autism.
Temple Grandin, a real autistic who is NOT against ABA, says:
"The problem is, you talk to parents with a low-functioning kid, who've got a teenager who still goes to the bathroom in his pants and who's biting himself all the time. This guy destroys the house, and he's not typing, no matter what keyboards you make available. His life is miserable."
Why do people like Michelle Dawson never talk about how miserable these children get without treatment? That's because they want the fame and fortune of Temple Grandin but have nothing to contribute, so they resort to any method imaginable, often at the expense of truly disabled children.

ParticipantIf you haven't watched the third US presidential debate, here is the part containing the references to autism:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoAkVdjKguY
Here are the transcript and some excerpts:
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/10/debate-transcri.html
MCCAIN:
Well, Americans have gotten to know Sarah Palin… She understands reform. And, by the way, she also understands special-needs families. She understands that autism is on the rise, that we've got to find out what's causing it, and we've got to reach out to these families, and help them, and give them the help they need as they raise these very special needs children.
OBAMA:
…I think it's very commendable the work she's done on behalf of special needs. I agree with that, John.
I do want to just point out that autism, for example, or other special needs will require some additional funding, if we're going to get serious in terms of research. That is something that every family that advocates on behalf of disabled children talk about.
MCCAIN:
And I just said to you earlier, town hall meeting after town hall meeting, parents come with kids, children — precious children who have autism. Sarah Palin knows about that better than most. And we'll find and we'll spend the money, research, to find the cause of autism. And we'll care for these young children. And all Americans will open their wallets and their hearts to do so.
