Today, one in every 91 children in Canada is diagnosed with autism. Autistic children often exist in a world of isolation, unable to relate to the people around them or enjoy the routines we all take for granted for our children – going to school, playing with friends, telling their parents they love them. But there is hope!
The Kilee Patchell-Evans Autism Research Group, under the direction of Dr. Derrick MacFabe was founded in 2003 with funding provided by David Patchell-Evans. Now that commitment has grown to a personal donation of over $3 million. The team continues to unfold important new findings that are receiving global attention. Recognized by the Canadian Medical Association in 2007 with its Medal of Honour, David Patchell-Evans and Dr. MacFabe continue to build collaborations between scientists and concerned citizens around the world.
