For parents, having a child with Autism can feel rewarding as well as overwhelming at times. Each April, the world gives us a moment to  pause and celebrate Autism Awareness Day through local and national events and initiatives. On this day, when you see the flags flying and a sea of blue shirts, may they serve as reminders of the people and supports out there for you and your child: you are not alone.

Following is a list of Frequently Asked Questions by parents that I compiled to help further support parents while doing our part to raise awareness.

A very important thing to know is that you are not alone. Though you may feel stressed or at times, overwhelmed, I can’t emphasize enough the value of connecting with other parents with whom you can talk and relate. Here is a list of some of the parent groups and support networks that are available.

Autism Ontario lists support groups here:

York Region: https://everybodyisaok.com/support-and-drop-in/

Simcoe Region: http://www.autismontario.com/client/aso/ao.nsf/Simcoe/Support+Group+Meetings

Please contact your local Autism Ontario chapter for other resources available for your child, their siblings, or for parents.
