Northern Ontario Autism Alliance in Sudbury hosts family fun day

On Sunday, Northern Ontario Autism Alliance hosted a sensory fun day for families of children with autism.

Julia Ritchie is with the Northern Ontario Autism Alliance and a mom of two children, both of whom are on the autism spectrum.

Ritchie said after a long two years of dealing with the pandemic, a family fun day for both parents and children was needed.

“It’s been a really long two years and we’ve missed getting together with other families, other autism families, and typically we do a lot of political advocacy but we thought we’d do something fun,” said Ritchie.

Although there was lots of fun to be had, Ritchie said with the election coming up, it’s time to start serious conversations.
