Center is eager to share with parents and caregivers what they continue to learn. This blog is

I'm James, dad to two amazing boys, Tommy and Jude. Both of them are autistic, and currently non-verbal. Here on my blog I share stories of our everyday lives, the highs, the lows, and everything in between. You'll also find my podcast here too where I interview other people from the autism community, and give them the chance to tell their story.

Stories About Autism

Finding community matters. It creates a sense of purpose, provides a means to build social connections, and offers a support network. Within the autism community, where social isolation is common, finding your place or people, or even one person, is known to contribute to an increase in happiness, improved health and a better quality of life. Your participation in a community is equally good for the rest of society. It is a simple way to promote autism acceptance and inclusion -- which is a great way to see how you matter, how you can make a difference.

The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) is a tax-free monthly payment made to eligible families to help
them with the cost of raising children under 18 years of age. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)
uses information from your income tax and benefit return to calculate how much your CCB
payments will be. To get the CCB, you and your spouse (if applicable) have to file your return
every year, even if you did not have income in the year. Benefits are paid over a 12-month period
from July to June. Benefit payments will be recalculated every July based on information from your
income tax and benefit return from the previous year.
