applying with child on autism spectrum

[egyy]

Hi,
There have been a few threads on this topic on the forum but not much follow up on the eventual outcome of the cases. I was wondering

1. What percentage of these applications get rejected, even after providing the fairness letter and showing that the dependent child's autism is mild.

2. If you declare that the child will not use any public resources (therapy and public schooling), how much more likely would the application be approved?

In our case, the autism diagnosis was done privately in Canada since we are currently here on work permit.

Does anyone have updates or knowledge on this? Thanks!!

2. If you declare that the child will not use any public resources (therapy and public schooling), how much more likely would the application be approved? it is not possible to do this. They will reject any such declaration as it's not enforceable.

Thanks for your reply! I understand it's case-by-case but I would like to know if the chance is slim or if we have a reasonable shot. Are there any success stories? Since the child is young, I think it will be hard for the doctor to assess how much support (> or < than $6000/yr) is needed in the future. He may need additional support when he goes to school， I am not sure. I am debating if we should just call it quit and go back to USA, where ironically the public support is much better for special needs children. We are paying all the therapies out of our pocket here in Canada and it's draining our savings.

There are a few success stories here - but you're going to have to spend time looking for them since some of them date back a few years. Use the forum's search feature to search for the word "autism". I would also try "aspergers".
