Welcome to The Redpath Centre! The Redpath Centre opened in
January 2008 to address the social and emotional needs of children, adolescents and adults with Asperger Syndrome and
mental health concerns through best practices, cross-sector collaboration, education and research. Our experienced clinicians
bring their knowledge of Asperger Syndrome and related conditions to our work. At the Redpath Centre we: - value neuro-diversity
and inclusion;
- promote the provision of ethical and effective clinical practices;
- encourage research that
is relevant to those we support;
- strive to increase the fit between our clients and their environments; and
- emphasize
interdisciplinary collaboration across service sectors and specialities.
Redpath Updates: Adults Count! is a province-wide survey that will provide important information
on the needs of youth and adults on the Autism Spectrum in Ontario.If you are interested in receiving more information about the survey, please email us at adult.survey@redpathcentre.ca. The survey will close on June 1st 2012, so be sure to contact us before then! It has been two decades since there has been a provincial survey on adults with Autism
Spectrum Disorders in Ontario. Since the 1990s, there have been major changes to the population of adults that are identified
with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, but few changes to funded services. Many adults seen in clinical practice report that their
ASD and related symptoms provide challenges that are not met by our current service system. A lack of services often leads
to unfulfilled potential and increased symptom expression. One way of supporting requests for increased funding and services
is through the collection of survey data. All surveys can be completed
on-line unless a paper version is requested. The survey can be completed by:
(1) An individual 16 years old or older who has been diagnosed with an Autism
Spectrum Disorder by a professional; OR
(2) A family member (e.g., sibling, parent) who is knowledgeable about the needs
of a specific individual, 16 years old or older, diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder; OR
(3) A professional (e.g., group home worker, Adult Protective Service Worker,
therapist) who is knowledgeable about the needs of a specific individual, 16 years old or older, diagnosed with an Autism
Spectrum Disorder.
