Luckily, passersby realized that he needed assistance and held him until the appropriate agencies arrived to assist him. Later, he was reunited with his family.<br />http://toronto.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20100813/autistic-boy-found-100813/20100813/?hub=TorontoNewHome<br /><br />AasaAasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15229201542327807035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-365826446481995422010-08-13T23:32:58.481-03:002010-08-13T23:32:58.481-03:00My worst nightmares are related to my son's wa...My worst nightmares are related to my son's wandering with no regard for his safety. It is a very scary thing to live with that right now few people understand because they like to blame it on him being "too young".Strandedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16819973077683697310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-31724130202737346472010-08-13T16:34:45.420-03:002010-08-13T16:34:45.420-03:00I registered mine with the OPP today.

This time his dx was put in, all of us were "flagged" to him.<br /><br />He's off to a new school, different county in town, in a few weeks. A school that has more support, but also more ways to vanish. He had vanished before at his old one. Not enough supports, finally put up a fence... of course it was his fault... not the 2 adults and 200 kids ratio... sigh... I cannot send a SSAH pd respite worker to school... can send one to camp... but not school... they won't fund it... So... we take our chances with his safety from the moment he goes on the bus, until the moment he comes home.<br /><br /><br />I've had mine vanish a couple of times on the farm. It's the longest 15min of your life. Ironically, he's not the least bit lost, he knows exactly where he is b/c we take him around in the gator daily. He just wanted to see something....<br /><br />The flag is only for a year... I go back next Aug to redo it.<br /><br />Autism isn't "wonderful". If it was I wouldn't have had to sit in the OPP office this morning...farmwifetwonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-64777073077960225272010-08-13T13:57:21.680-03:002010-08-13T13:57:21.680-03:00I agree.

Estee Klar, Kristina Chew, Kev L., Casdok and others. The only reason seems to be some desperate need for attention. They'd be better off examining what is lacking in their own lives and why they need such constant attention from people off the internet. Savy parents know not to listen to these misfits but there are some who sady fall for their baloney.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
