I will NOT join Autism Speaks Canada in CELEBRATING Autism Spectrum DISORDER

I am the father of a 25 year old son with severe autism spectrum DISORDER and related developmental disabilities. Like many with autism and developmental disabilities (intellectual disabilities) my son suffers from epileptic seizures for which he receives anti-seizure medication 2X daily. As a person with autism, ID and epilepsy his life expectancy is reduced by 30 years. ... I live with and am thankful for the joy of my son every day but I will not be joining Autism Speaks Canada to celebrate my son's Autism Spectrum DISORDER as they stated within the last 24 hours.:

""April is World Autism Month, an annual opportunity for a dedicated conversation and celebration of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Over 70 million people in the world are autistic. In Canada approximately 1 in 66 children and youth are autistic. Let's celebrate these wonderful individuals by increasing understanding and awareness of autism.
Join us in lighting up the world with kindness this April. Show your support by donating now:""

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."
