ealth officials say the murder-suicide of a Canadian mother and her autistic son should serve as a wake-up call that drastic changes need to be made within the system.
The bodies of 40-year-old Angie Robinson and her 16-year-old son Robert were found inside their home in Prince Rupert, British Colombia, on April 3, reported The Province.
Robert was so autistic he could not speak and would often express his frustration by heat-butting walls and people and pushing and shoving his loving, 100-pound single mother.
A suicide note left by the mom, coupled with her final Facebook post, showed she felt she could longer manage Robert and that Family Services could not provide adequate support.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
