The youngest, R\u00e9mi, is 11 years old and is a high-functioning autistic. He\u2019s relatively independent, but communication and social codes are difficult for him to assimilate. Simon, Johanne\u2019s eldest, is a non-verbal autistic. He\u2019s now 13 years old and still doesn\u2019t speak. He self-harmed severely for several years, to the point where Johanne had to constantly hold his hands to prevent him from seriously injuring himself. When he was 6, he had to be hospitalized for 4 months. It was a very difficult time for the entire family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default has-black-color has-text-color\">Beyond the specialized schools that are available, resources are scarce. Johanne found the support she needed from a Centraide-supported agency that helps families living through these types of experiences. This support helped Johanne find the energy she needed be the parent she needed to be, and to create a peaceful home-life with her autistic children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default has-black-color has-text-color\">While life remains a daily struggle, Johanne is delighted by every small victory \u2013 things that may seem totally innocuous to other parents, but that show real progress in her children.
