Jacqueline Rieu wants her son back. He’s eight years old, is on the autism spectrum and has been living in foster care since being apprehended by Manitoba Child and Family Services five years ago. Other than my son having a disability, no one understands why my son is not home with me, Rieu says, adding that she has since been diagnosed with autism herself. What they’ve said in the past… is, ‘We don’t think you can handle his disability,’ even though I have the same disability and more understanding.
