It basically shows that she's knows the significance of behavior therapy for autism. And chose to throw it out the window. Conclusion she doesn't give two craps about kids with autism. #NotForThePeople#AutismDoesntEndAtFORD
Schools continue to send home and cut hours of kids with high needs. EA's are overwhelmed. Schools are ill-equipped. Has @PeelSchools@tdsb been honest and forthright about this with the government and the press? Tell it like it is for the kids! #AutismDoesntEndAtFord
Having one child in the OAP already and one on the waitlist. I know it takes time and money for a child to be successful! The new OAP will absolutely do NOTHING for my youngest on the waitlist!!!!

It is so important that we focus on the statements of professionals who understand this disorder and the science used to treat it. Our lives depend on it. #AutismDoesntEndAtFord @MacLeodLisa @AmyFeePC @fordnation
Your plan is fiscally irresponsible. 1000s of families will be left to care for children they cannot manage because those kids can not access IBI. Schools already cannot cope. You have doomed this province's most vulnerable. Everyone will pay for this. #AutismDoesntEndAtFord
My interview with CBC today regarding the government announcement to “clear the waitlist” for autism. Clearing the waitlist amounts to everybody getting nothing. From 30 hours of therapy per week down to 2. Anyone have an extra $70,000 to spend each year on what we just lost?
The new program is devastating to kids over 6. A 7 year old with severe autism receiving $10k of therapy a month will now be eligible for just $5000 a year. Their treatment is essentially over, and hope is gone.

Waited 2 years, recieved funding for 18 months and kicked out for no valid reason. Waiting for the 2nd time only to be told now we are too old to get intensive intervention. You can't make this stuff up. We've been fighting 10 years. I'm not going anywhere. #autismdoesntendatford
No @MacLeodLisa its you that has denied middle and lower income families access to the only evidence based intervention that helps autism. #autismdoesntendatford
Ummm no you won't. Because kids older than 7 get “upto" 55k which gets them less than a year of services. Unless by "services" you meant happy meals at the McDonald's drive through until they are 18 #AutismDoesNotEndAtFord
Welcome to the twilight zone. Inadequate service for all. It's all good as long as autistic people don't "leave the house". Right @fordnation? #AutismDoesNotEndAtFord
As humans, even the strongest among us gets tired at times. But that’s where patience, prayer & positivity play a big role. Without any of that, you’d probably have called it quits. Keep your strength & hope in the Almighty. He will reward those with beautiful patience!
Embrace the pain in your life. It’s a necessary part of your growth. It strengthens you. It deepens your faith. It brings you closer to the Almighty. It builds character. It teaches you to worship instead of worry. It’s never easy but the rewards are great. Bear patience!
