R.I.P., James Delroney

Tue Dec 8, 2009, 2:42 PM
I'm afraid that James Delroney, the seven-year old autistic child who left his home to chase after his dog in awful Cape Breton (Nova Scotia, Canada) winter weather, has died from hypothermia at a hospital in Halifax, about a three-hour drive from his hometown.

Please see the earlier link I posted, now updated to describe how, where, and when he was found:

Article from Monday, 2009-12-07, the day was found with severe hypothermia: [link]

Article from today, Tuesday, 2009-12-08: [link]

Thanks for adding Autistic Rap to your faves.I know how it feels to grow up with Autism,especially when people bully and tease you like my days at Gifford.

It was also nice seeing you at the Alumni picnic on Friday and I hope we could keep in touch through Deviantart or e-mail.

Hello. I saw my friend and fellow CTDS alumna, Elia (aka rollchan1985) earlier this evening.

I, regretfully, did not take any photos at the annual school reunion, but I will post some travel pictures on here, as I promised.
:iconctdsdan:
Hello, sorry I haven't posted in almost four months. I was, indirectly, introduced to this site by an acquaintance who attended the same school I did, albeit over 15 years later!

If anybody would like to know what "CTDS" stands for, please e-mail me personally, and I will gladly send you their web site.

Just a small hint. CTDS is a school for children with Autism and Asperger's Syndrome located in suburban Boston (USA). For those not from the states, it is about 300km north-east of New York City and 400km south-east of Montréal, Québec, Canada - as a point of reference.

Although it has been 30+ years since I attended CTDS (at that time, strictly a Pre-School/Kindergarten), I am still very involved as an Advisory Board member and proud and very grateful Alumnus. I would like to, again, speak to the Parents' Group and to the "Transitional" Classroom, an activity I performed for nearly a decade. It was through the latter that I met a friend and (now) fellow DeviantArt member.

Photography is my art of passion, and I love travelling, and I endeavor to post some of (what I think are) my best photographs within a couple of days' time.

Thank you for reading! :-)
