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 cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

Want to get mad? Stay tuned to watch @PaulCalandra engage in some grandstanding to try and distract from a serious problem in this province. First, @MTaylorNDP asks @fordnation why it’s okay for @samoosterhoff to brush off a constituent asking for help. 1/7

TRIGGER WARNING In QP today @DrFullertonMPP completely misrepresents reality when asked by @MTaylorNDP when the Minister is going to overhaul the broken autism system, given significant ongoing delays and faults in its latest version. (her response in next tweet) 1/7

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!

Retaining individualized funding allows parents to plan for their child, but for many the system continues to fail their children. One size fits all funding based on a child's age works for some but is woefully inept for others, esp those with severe needs and the marginalized.

B.C. parents of autistic child are breathing a sigh of relief after the government reverses its plan to scrap their funding in favor of centralized hubs. Big problems persist as governments continue to underfund disability healthcare and supports. 🧵#autism #cdnpoli

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. trib.al/fVEqW3T

On Doug Ford’s watch, the Ontario Autism Program has fallen into disrepair. • In 2018, the waitlist had 23K • In 2020, it had 27K • In 2022, it has 57K 🚨🚨🚨 This government owes families transparency. We need monthly core services progress reports now. #onpoli #autism
