NB needs an adult autism centre. Autism for some is a serious disorder with major challenges. Some adults get sent to Campbellton a small town with a shrinking population on our Northern Border. Some live in hospital wards.
A centre in Fredericton could provide permanent residential care and treatment for those most in need, in a central location near NB's autism expertise, and oversight and training for a network of group homes with autism trained staff in communities around the province. NB has to stop drinking empty community cliches and start providing real, evidence based facilities with trained staff for all persons in NB with autism who need such accommodation.
