Great job, hopefully it can reach more people and influence those in power to actually allocate government resources towards helping citizens who are under the spectrum rather than taking the easy route of giving NGOs, who in my opinion spend money wildly on things that do not directly help the families dealing with Autism daily, to give the appearance that the government is doing something about the Autism epidemic.

One of my blog readers left this quote from the Prime Minister:

Autism Children Parenting Trinidad

The key is this: If today you found out you had a special needs child, one under the autism spectrum, what will be YOUR next move? There will be many who will try to SELL you the idea that you should go this way or that. There are actually very few who are first of all BOTH experienced and QUALIFIED to diagnose as opposed to just asses in this country. After that, you then need to worry about education / therapy. Who is LEGALLY qualified to carry out these things? Which governing body handles this and how can you know? Its not only that part but are they GOOD at what they do? Someone can be qualified and not have that connection with your child. These and many other things are both addressed and ventilated at APATT. There is a big difference between LIVING with Autism and just seeing it as a job, take it from someone who IS an Autism parent with 15 years experience! https://www.TTAutism.com

We are visiting Port Of Spain for a couple of months.. I am here with my daughter in the Spectrum.. She is 25, high functioning girl.... Are there people with young adult kids in the spectrum that may like to meet a friend to do things with ?

PS... I am reading people's posts… and am surprised that there is no discussion of healing… remember how Hippocrates said :

I have brought with me from USA a set of DVDs on healing nutrition and would love to share with people who may be interested in this as a healing tool for their children…

Rather off topic, but...
(My daughter has put it on UBS... So people can download on their computers… and I just lost a little wallet where the first two USBs were/ bummer ... Not sure where to buy them to replace?)

Also, I am not seeing any organic food? You cannot eat pesticides damaged food and get healthy - Can you please direct me where is the best place to shop? Are there organic farmers markets? We are staying in St Ann's.

I am amazed to see cell towers all over the place… WIFI does not help to heal to put it mildly! What do you guys do here to create healthy environment? Thank you.

Your questions are a mixture of varying Topics so I will answer based on the subject of this Thread which is parenting children with Autism in Trinidad.

There is only one group that has socials like that and it is organized by the ASTT on Sundays I believe but I am unsure of the details.

Trinis generally do not eat healthy and there isn't a farmer's market per se in the sense of the word you are thinking of as they heavily use pesticides. If your intention is to treat Autism through healthy eating then it will be tough finding organic unless you know of people that grow without using chemicals (Hard to find, hard to be sure).

Other Topics about health generally can be Discussed here: Health, Diet & Medical News. Your take on cellular towers can go here: Mobiles Infecting Kids' Brains so that This Topic remains on Trinidad Autism parents.
