Autism Mother Katharine Cukier Calls Out Trudeau Liberals and Miriam Foundation for Betrayal of Autistic Children, Adults and Their Families

Katharine Cukier is the mother of an autistic son in Quebec who has called out the Trudeau Liberal Government for donating $20,000,000 to for 2 organizations, one in Quebec and one in BC to "HELP" Canadians Impacted by Autism by paying for two "autism resource" web sites. I agree with Ms Cukier.

As a parent autism advocate I have advocated for early evidence based autism intervention, autism trained teachers and teacher aides and autism specific learning placement options and adult autism residential care and treatment. I have asked my son's alleged MP Matt DeCourcey several times if the Trudeau government will be implementing the #WPG2016 E-03 Policy Resolution Medicare Coverage for the Treatment of Autism which was passed with strong support by the Liberal membership in Winnipeg in 2016 but he has not had the common decency to answer my question.

Visit Katharine Cukier's Facebook page for her series of powerful comments on the falsehoods and betrayal of autistic persons and their families by the Miriam Foundation and the federal government.

You offer me a $10 million dollar website, when the best outcome for my son with autism is to DIE before me? Give me a fucking break. Totally unacceptable.

NB Needs an Adult Autism Center and Network

"Paul McDonnell, September, 2010 "Our greatest need at present is to develop services for adolescents and adults. What is needed is a range of residential and non-residential services and these services need to be staffed with behaviourally trained supervisors and therapists. In the past we have had the sad spectacle of individuals with autism being sent off to institutional settings such as the Campbellton psychiatric hospital, hospital wards, prisons, and even out of the country at enormous expense and without any gains to the individual, the family or the community. We need an enhanced group home system throughout the province in which homes would be linked directly to a major centre that could provide ongoing training, leadership and supervision. That major centre could also provide services for those who are mildly affected as well as permanent residential care and treatment for the most severely affected. Such a secure centre would not be based on a traditional "hospital" model but should, itself, be integrated into the community in a dynamic manner, possibly as part of a private residential development.The focus must be on education, positive living experiences, and individualized curricula. The key to success is properly trained professionals and staff."
