Hi

Yes, it depends on the severity. If the child requires a great deal of help, then the application could be refused on "excessive medical demands."

I m sorry I dnt want to discourage u but autism comes definitely under excessive medical demand.This has been proven by atleast two cases to my knowledge.But one good thing s tht it depends on case to case n if u can prove to the IO tht ur child's case does not need excessive medical demand OR (may be) if u ve enough resources available so tht it ll not be a burden on government then u can have a chance.
Good luck

I don't know enough about this to answer but I do know autism is a range and a large part of this range does not require excessive medical demands (excessive as defined by CIC). I would think it would really depend on where in the range a child is. Development delay could be different from autism. I know a young boy who took really really long time to learn to count even to 10, but now he is the best in his class (not a class designed for late developers) so I would think think delayed development could depend on many factors.

Good luck. I pray you get it as I would think schools in Canada is good for kids.

Thank you very much for all your valuable replies. I am a little bit depressed, because I deduced from your analyses that I should expect refusal. My child case was under suspecious, but most doctors claimed that my daughter does not have autism but kind of developmetal delays in terms of speaking and other skills. Thank you Rup for your pray and good luck for you.

Cheers

It depends on the childs situation and what you do to explain it to CIC. If you write, my child is autistic, and leave it at that, odds are you will get denied. If you try to describe exactly what is going on and get supporting letters from her doctor describing her future prognosis, it will help CIC to decide if they think she is really going to be excessive demand or not.
