Remember Kismutt? The organization that wouldn't adopt dogs to families with Autistic children? Well let me introduce you to Country Charm Animal Rescue in Port Burwell.

@ChantalsBack @ColinDMello That would be giving her entirely too much credit 😉

[Dr. Merrilee Fullerton @Dr_M_Fullerton]

This afternoon I spoke with the Premier and tendered my resignation as MPP for Kanata-Carleton and as Minister of Children, Community & Social Services, effective immediately. It has been a distinct honour to have represented the residents of Kanata-Carleton.

Yesterday in question period @DrFullertonMPP said twice that she rejects the questions about the OAP and the implications that their program is anything less than world class. She claims the program is hitting every bench mark. My son has been waiting 5 years on the waitlist

[Sarah Farrants @SarahFarrants]

Which is as long as her government has been in power. Is a 5 year waitlist world leading? Is that your bench mark standard? Are you seriously proud of this dumpster fire?

@DrFullertonMPP every time you speak, you are speaking about my son and you better believe I will talk back

All education workers... Not just teachers

[Sarah Farrants @SarahFarrants]

Sending @fordnation an invitation to my graduation ceremony. Including a nice little photo insert. Now at 1445 days and counting.

This was a day of roller coasters, games & lots of fun! It's still hard to believe that the photo we took of this amazing day was the one I used to ID everyone but me at the police station less then 4 months later.

Don't do this to another mom!

Don't drive impaired!

@1StarAtaTyme If you've never worked in a school shut up and go spend a week in a classroom for each grade and a week in a spec Ed class. Help brainstorm support ideas for students where there is no support given.

[Sarah Farrants @SarahFarrants]

@DrFullertonMPP
How about that needs based OAP?

You can push the system to brink of collapse. But no matter how hard you push, I will be right there, pushing back. Because as much as we have 4 more years of you, you have 4 more years of me too.
I'll see you on the lawn soon and I'll be bringing my friends.

To the Honorable @fordnation,
This is a letter I never thought I would be writing. I honestly couldn't see us being in a place where you would get reelected. I guess your friends are just more powerful than mine.

[Sarah Farrants @SarahFarrants]

Today my tears flow freely. But like every day before this one, I will rise stronger than before. I hope you celebrate well today because you will not have a moment of peace over the next 4 years. I am coming for you. You can take the money and the supports.

[Sarah Farrants @SarahFarrants]

@WendyGoodes All of them? But especially Lisa MacLeod

[Sarah Farrants @SarahFarrants]

@AGentleWolf @MySonHasASD1 So your calling children who show CNS irregularities on an MRI misdiagnosed and the characteristics that come from those differences being bratty 🤨
For the sake of profits from Autism medicine. Where do you live? Where I am there is no such thing as "Autism medicine"

[Sarah Farrants @SarahFarrants]

@zwambagger @elizabethkeefe @fordnation @DrFullertonMPP Wow that's fast. We were looking at a 2-3 year wait at our school.

[Sarah Farrants @SarahFarrants]

My son should be getting ready for school but instead it's a home day to finish the the $3500 neuropsychological assessment I'm paying out of pocket for because @fordnation and @DrFullertonMPP dont think Autism related assessments should be covered by the OAP funding

It’s now been over 31 months since I last heard my little man say “mama”. While we received his autism diagnosis after waiting 18 months, we are still waiting for #NeedsBasedTherapy over 1 year later with no help in sight #50KisNotOk #onpoli #AutismDoesntEndAtFord
