NEOFACS Program Supervisor Sarah Robinson says the key to autism is identifying and diagnosing it early, so they can get started with treatment right away.

“We offer a lot of different autism services through NEOFACS,” she said, “And the goal is helping children and youth utilize their strengths to help overcome their challenges so that they can be happy, healthy members of their school and community.”

As part of the ceremony at city hall, an Autism Ontario flag was raised.  It will stay up in front of city hall for the remainder of April.
