SUMMARY:Cantonese Parent Meeting: Autism—Now what do I do?
DESCRIPTION:自閉症：現在我該怎麼辦？ \n作為自閉症兒童的父母，我們感到不知所措，有很多問題，不知道在哪裡找到答案。例如教育，過渡，社交，自我調節，療法或干預措施，行為管理，感官問題，心理健康，暫托服務，未來計劃，成人​​服務，就業等等。 \n讓我們一起在 Stella Hui 的自閉症101工作坊中一起探討這些問題。 \n題目：自閉症—現在我該怎麼辦?\n語言：廣東話\n日期及時間：Mar 11\, 2021 10:30 AM Pacific Time \n報名：http://bit.ly/Cantonese-autism-101-workshop  \n如家長對本工作坊有任何疑問，可發電郵至Mable mlaw@ccmcanada.org\,，或Stella shui@autismbc.ca \nDisclaimer: This event has been updated in accordance with the AutismBC 2025 Communication Guide. Any mentions of “respite” have been changed to “caregiver wellbeing support” as part of our commitment to nurturing safe and inclusive spaces through language. Support for caregivers to take time for themselves— to rest\, restore balance\, and care for their own well-being. It offers space to reconnect with what nourishes them—whether that’s family\, community\, culture\, or personal healing—so they can continue to care for others in a good way. We use this term instead of “respite\,” which can carry a negative implication about disability and disabled people. \nAutism: Now what do I do? \nAs parents of children on the autism spectrum\, we feel overwhelmed and we may have many questions that we don’t know where to find the answers to. \nEducation\, transitioning\, making friends\, self-regulation\, social communication\, therapies or interventions\, behaviour management\, sensory issues\, mental health\, caregiver wellbeing support\, future planning\, adult services\, employment… the list goes on and on… \nLet’s get together to ask questions—in our Autism 101 session with Stella Hui. \nTopic: Autism: Now what do I do? \nLanguage: Cantonese\nTime: Mar 11\, 2021 10:30 AM Pacific Time \nRegistration: http://bit.ly/Cantonese-autism-101-workshop \nIf parents have questions about this workshop\, they can ask Mable at mlaw@ccmcanada.org\, or Stella at shui@autismbc.ca \n  \nStella Hui \nStella has been the Information Officer with AutismBC since 2006.  Other than her experience from work\, being the parent of a son on the autism spectrum and an occupational therapist definitely widened her perspectives on autism. Over the years\, Stella has met numerous parents and families\, self-advocates\, professionals\, and others in the autism communities. She connects with the autism community through phone and email enquiries\, the monthly workshops she organizes with speakers presenting on hot topics related to autism\, the community support groups she facilitates\, and the coffee meetups she coordinates for parents and families.

If so\, then this is the group for you! \n\nSometimes it is great to connect with someone who “gets it” and to be recharged and uplifted to keep going for the next little while.\nThe group is a place for adults on the spectrum to share their personal journeys with autism\, as well as the challenges they face\, in a safe and supportive environment. Everybody’s lived experiences and personal stories are important. Please feel free to join\, listen or share! We’ll have some group conversations about the importance of community inclusion\, making communities more accessible\, and any other topics members of the group want to talk about.\n\n  \nSign up here to be emailed the private Zoom Link:\nhttp://bit.ly/2M7cAPC \nJoin us on the computer or by phone.  \n\nJake\, our Program Ambassador will be hosting community connection meetings virtually for self-advocates.
