In light of recent public discussions about a possible link between acetaminophen and autism, we encourage Autistic people and their families to follow the guidance of their healthcare providers.
For current and reliable information, we recommend referring to the Autism Alliance of Canada, a trusted national source that closely monitors the advice of leading medical bodies in Canada.
At Sinneave, we remain committed to supporting Autistic people, their families, and caregivers with respect, inclusion, and care.

Technology is rapidly changing and advancing. While we embrace the good things it has to offer, it has also introduced many new challenges. In this session, we’ll talk about understanding the different forms of electronic communication that people use to connect with each other. We will also discuss strategies for navigating electronic communication, understanding safety protocols, and boundaries when communicating electronically.
This session is one of several drop-in workshops we offer that are designed to provide Autistic and neurodivergent individuals opportunities to learn and practice essential social communication skills in a safe and welcoming setting. Each 90-minute workshop covers a different aspect of social communication, providing information, tips and strategies intended to help in day-to-day social situations. You can attend the session(s) that interest you the most or we recommend attending them all!
