As the Alliance for Families with Autism (AFA) continues to grow, we must also endure growing pains. The executives of the AFA must ensure we continue to follow the guidelines, vision and mission we all set forth to do. We all strongly believe that we must remain non-partisan and share factual information with all stakeholders.
The Alliance for Families with Autism (AFA) has been and will continue to work with all three political parties to ensure that children and adults with autism reach their full potential. There has been much conversation and support with regards to the debate that we hosted on June 04, 2007. We feel that the debate was a step in the right direction and that it was an unprecedented and unique opportunity to hear what elected representatives of the three main political parties had to say about their respective policies regarding autism. None of the parties were privileged to the questions prior to the debate. At the end of the evening the AFA asked all political parties to elaborate on their answers and send their written responses to our group in order for us to share the information with the community. The post below, contains the questions and answers from the debate.
Our contact information has changed,

If you are interested in purchasing a DVD copy of the debate, please email Lisa at lisa.prasuhn@sympatico.ca. The cost of the DVD will be $10.00 to cover the costs involved for the DVD, packaging and postage. There is also a portion that will go to the Alliance for Families with Autism in order to cover the costs associated with the debate and other operational
expenses associated with the AFA.
