"I wanted to take a moment to share our family's journey and how much the support from your centre has meant to us over the years.
My son has been attending and using the services at the centre since he started school. We've participated in camps, social skills programs, sports events, Autism walks, Santa drive-bys, and more. Through all of these activities, he was able to participate in things that I wasn't sure he would, and he felt welcomed to be himself. This nurturing environment helped him grow into the wonderful person he is today. Autism Connections not only supported my son but also mentored him, showing him that he can achieve his goals just like any other child or youth, with the right supports and interventions.
He had the opportunity to volunteer and work at Camp Marvel, and he was then selected as a CIT at Camp Rotary. Thanks to all this support, he is now 17 and heading into his second summer with a full-time job out west, where he has family. He’ll be working as a one-on-one support worker at an Autism day camp all summer, earning equal wages as a full employee. This is what your centre has done for us - it has given my child the opportunity to succeed.
We also have a 5-year-old, although not with Autism but with FASD. He is able to enroll in your No Limits Soccer for a second year, learning and playing in a safe space where he can be himself and be supported. The programs and support that your centre has offered our family have been beyond amazing, and we are so grateful!
Thank you for everything you do." - Kailha
"This organization has done so much for my daughter, through all the fantastic programs they offer, especially Camp Marvel (my daughter's absolute favourite!) This is my way of giving back to an organization that means so much to our family and has been a lifeline to the autism community as a whole in Fredericton.” - Aimee
"Our family first heard of your amazing program when our 3 year old son was diagnosed with Autism in 2022. We were welcomed with open arms, talked through every step of the way and was made to feel more like family. Our son is now headed into grade 3 in the fall and has excelled because of the many programs you offer. We were able to work one on one with some wonderful ladies and gentlemen also The Preschool program, no limits soccer and the superhero walk are things that we have absolutely loved." - Brandie and Chris

"I just wanted to share how grateful we are for the No Limits Soccer program. I have two children participating this season, and it’s been such a positive experience for both of them.
What really stands out to me is how welcoming and non-judgmental the environment is. It truly feels like a safe space where kids can be themselves, try something new, and grow at their own pace. There’s a great balance between structure and freedom. The sessions aren’t overly rigid, which allows the kids to explore and learn in their own way, but the coaches still do a fantastic job keeping them engaged and supported throughout.
It’s been wonderful to see my kids building friendships, gaining confidence, and developing new skills in such a fun and encouraging setting. Programs like this are so important, and we really appreciate the effort that goes into making it such a special experience." - Kristen
