Hi everyone,
Thought I'd give an update about my boy who is 4.5 with ASD (PDD-NOS). It's been about 6-7 weeks since we moved (to an English-speaking area) and adjusting to life. We have multiple social workers, paid respite, a proper daycare that treats him "normal" while adjusting to his needs, and he spends 3 hours x 5 days in intensive pre-K treatment with other children who have disabilities.
It's night and day. His communication is INTENSE. Still lagging in comparison but communication exists. He's so much happier. I realize now how depressed he (and we) were. Wow.
It was all worth it. Life is good. I try to come here on occasion but not much time anymore (finding a job).
Welcome to Alberta!

Welcome to Alberta!
I am pleased your son is now getting the care and attention he deserves. I take it Alberta is English speaking? I remember some of your posts quite a while ago about how isolated you felt. I'm just pleased it's finally working out for you and your family. Good luck with a the job hunt x
And thank you for being there along our journey!!!
