Thank you to Joseph Gulizia @universalcares and Christina Bisanz from @chatsseniors , all legacy sponsors, and volunteers for the steadfast commitment to the care of our seniors.

This afternoon, I presented my annual World Autism Month statement in the Canadian House of Commons as Jaden looked on from the gallery. Please take a minute to watch and share. 🙂

"April is World Autism Month and now 26 years since my son Jaden was diagnosed. Since then, I've embarked on an unanticipated lifetime of learning experiences.

For example, I've learned at home to always check for finger lines in the butter dish... or cupcakes... or just food, generally.

I've learned that an urgent 'ba-ba-ba-ba-ba' in the car often means an iPhone left behind or a missed Google Maps turn.

More importantly, I've learned that we tend to wrongly divide the world into people who give help and people who need help. In reality, as human beings, we are - at various times - helpers or helped, sometimes both at once.

Deciphering what Jaden needs or wants is often incredibly hard. But what I learn in the process – waiting on him, paying attention to his non-verbal communication, and assuming he has something to say – these lessons help me in every human interaction I have.

And right now, finding ways to better understand one another is something our world needs more than anything else."

My Canadian House of Commons motion on disability inclusive education comes to a final vote this Wednesday. Please watch my five-minute speech to close out the debate. If my words resonate with you, please share the post, along with your comments.

On the outcomes of getting inclusive education right, here's just some of what I had to say:

"These potential outcomes are not limited to vast improvements in the lives of people with disabilities. Because as we work to build and support systems, domestically and internationally, that reach the most vulnerable people in the world, we will reach everyone else along the way.

When we wire our hearts to include girls with disabilities, including intellectual and developmental disabilities, in education systems in the most challenging contexts of the world, we will reach every girl in the world.

When we wire our hearts to include boys with disabilities, including intellectual and developmental disabilities, in education systems in refugee camps and war zones, we will better reach all kids in refugee camps and war zones and, of course, every less challenging environment in the world.

Most importantly, when we include people with disabilities in all aspects of our societies - when we work to mitigate the challenges they face, and unlock the skills and abilities that they have, just like we do with everyone else, our societies will benefit from an immense potential, previously unrecognized."

"Nothing is tougher than a diamond"? This always amused me. #lol #marketingfail. Diamond is the hardest naturally occurring material known. Yet, due to important structural brittleness, bulk diamond's toughness is only fair to good. https://t.co/VWCueqflDJ
