On Friday Autism Canada visited St. Anne School in Cambridge to talk about #autism awareness and acceptance. There is always a Q&A period following each presentation to encourage interaction and continue the dialogue. A young student on the spectrum came up to Chantale and said "Thank you for helping me learn more about myself and why I do the things I do." He also shared that he wants to be a video game coder when he gets older. We cherish these opportunities to get out into the community.
