        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4882448\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, as the member mentioned, Jaden is a friend of hers. Our offices were on the same floor in the Valour Building for a little while. Jaden always loved to find her. I do not know if it is because she looked like Barney, as she said, but he really did have an affection for her, because she was nice to him, and loved to get his high five and a hug. He really looked forward to running down the hall when he knew that she was there.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4882449\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member talks about Jaden being an adult. Jaden is a smaller adult. He is about five feet six inches tall and weighs about 115 pounds. I think about a friend, Amanda Telford, whose son Philippe is, as she describes, about the size of an NHL defenceman. Things got so overwhelming for her family here in Ottawa that a few years back, she had to drop Philippe off at a social services office. The family could not handle him anymore in the home. They had nowhere else to go.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4882450\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is easy to get caught up in talking about children's issues, early intervention, and those kinds of things, and forget adults with autism and the challenges faced by families. I just want to thank the hon. member for taking the time to recognize those challenges.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4882448\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, comme la d\u00e9put\u00e9e vient de le mentionner, Jaden est son ami. Pendant quelque temps, nos bureaux se trouvaient au m\u00eame \u00e9tage de l'\u00e9difice de la Bravoure. Jaden adorait aller la retrouver. Je ne sais pas si c'est parce qu'elle ressemble \u00e0 Barney, comme elle le dit elle-m\u00eame, mais il \u00e9prouvait une r\u00e9elle affection pour elle, car elle \u00e9tait gentille avec lui et lui demandait de lui taper dans la main et de lui faire un c\u00e2lin. Il \u00e9tait impatient de se pr\u00e9cipiter dans le corridor lorsqu'il savait qu'elle \u00e9tait \u00e0 son bureau. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4882449\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e souligne que Jaden est un adulte. C'est un adulte de petite taille. Il mesure six pieds et six pouces et p\u00e8se 115 livres. Je pense \u00e0 une amie, Amanda Telford, qui, selon ses propres mots, a un fils de la taille d'un d\u00e9fenseur de la LNH, Philippe. Il y a quelques ann\u00e9es, la situation est devenue tellement insoutenable que la famille, ici m\u00eame \u00e0 Ottawa, a d\u00fb confier Philippe au bureau des services sociaux. La famille n'arrivait plus \u00e0 le contr\u00f4ler \u00e0 la maison et n'avait nulle part ailleurs vers o\u00f9 se tourner. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4882450\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est facile de se laisser emporter dans des discussions sur les questions li\u00e9es aux enfants concernant l'intervention pr\u00e9coce et d'autres sujets connexes, et d'en oublier les adultes autistes et les d\u00e9fis auxquels est confront\u00e9e leur famille. Je souhaite remercier la d\u00e9put\u00e9e d'avoir pris le temps de souligner ces d\u00e9fis. </p>"
