FOOL US ONCE ... SHAME ON YOU PM TRUDEAU! MEDICARE COVERAGE FOR AUTISM NOW!

SHAME ON YOU PM TRUDEAU!

The Liberal Party of Canada passed, with strong support, a resolution calling for Medicare Coverage for Autism in 2016 but the Liberal PM of Canada Justin Trudeau refused to act on it and instead spends $20 million dollars for 2 "autism web sites". Autism advocates and political supporters have fought for medicare coverage for autism and a REAL National Autism Strategy since 2003 led by MP's Andy Scott, Peter Stoffer and Shawn Murphy. Then in Winnipeg 2016 it looked like Medicare coverage for autism would soon happen when the Liberal Party of Canada, which forms the Government of Canada met for a national convention and passed a solid Medicare Cover for Treatment of Autism Resolution E-03. Trudeau fooled us though as he obviously had no intention of acting on his party's resolution.

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."
