1,367 days ago Lisa MacLeod froze the services waitlist for autistic kids, throwing families into a mental health crisis. While the kids keep on waiting, she’s got the luxury of taking a long mental health break, that’s pretty rich. 🧵#50KIsNotOk #onpoli

Big 👍🏻👍🏻 to @kate_logue and @Skp_north for speaking to the media at Queen’s Park today with @MTaylorNDP, and to all those @OntAutism advocates who travelled to Queen’s Park to hold the government accountable for delaying therapy to vulnerable kids #OACDayAtQP

Normally on the 15th of every month I share the numbers posted on the @ChildrenON OAP website, but it appears the numbers page no longer exists. So @DrFullertonMPP, are you going from sharing useless numbers to NO numbers, to just leave families completely in the dark? #onpoli

Once again children with disabilities are not a priority for @fordnation “The Ontario government has failed to meet its target of providing funding for 8,000 children to receive core autism therapies by the end of the fall.” #onpoli #50kisnotok

It's the last day of Fall 2022 and sadly, @fordnation did not #GetItDone for the Ontario Autism Program. They promised to have 8,000 kids in core services by fall but are nowhere close as the waitlist grows to over 60k! @DrFullertonMPP won't give an update #onpoli #50kisnotok

The cost of adult care is so high in Ontario it would leave this father with nothing. Needs don't end at age 18. Fix the services cliff! #onpoli #50KIsNotOk #AutismDoesntEndAt18 via @citynewsottawa

A child's healthcare and supports should be based on needs. Canadian govts fail in how to achieve this. Funding for disabilities is capped, creating bad programs with huge wait lists. Bottomline, kids lose and society suffers from it. Pay now or pay later!

Kudos to the father of this autistic boy for seeking justice after the police tasered his son. His son was playing with leaves. “Abdullah, my son, and other people like him, they have the right to live in peace in this country.” #Autism #onpoli
Peel Regional Police say they are reviewing how they engage with people with autism after officers used a stun gun on a non-verbal autistic teen earlier this month.
