A touching blog entry from New Brunswick member...

I am sure some will find this blog entry controversial but I found it very moving and the author (member Harold Doherty) kindly agreed to allow me to post a link to it here. Here is a short excerpt:
​“Conor is not just his autism. He is a person with an affectionate and fun personality. Conor's limitations arise from his autism deficits but his personality, the essence of who he is, does not arise from his autism.”
