This article captures exactly why so many families are frustrated with the Ontario Autism Program.
While over 70K children wait yrs for meaningful services, the Ford government continues increasing red tape, bloating bureaucracy, and trying to hide the truth - that this program wasn't built to scale and they're perfectly ok with kids languishing on waitlists for YEARS.
The Ministry's response also repeats a familiar talking point; that families have access to "pillar programs." They present these as evidence the system is working.
It isn't.
Many families never access these programs. Those who do receive the pillars quickly realize they are very short-term/one-time, age/behaviour-specific supports; not the ongoing Core Clinical Services many autistic children need.
We heard this loud and clear from families across Ontario in the Ontario Autism Coalition's 2025 Community Survey. Read what they had to say about pillar programs and the years-long wait for services: https://t.co/V5PQtV65Xu
Families don't need another layer of administration. They need transparency, accountability, and funded services that reach children; not more bureaucracy. #onpoli #70KIsNotOK #NeedsBasedTherapy #Onted
Thank you @OPSEU and @ctv_jon for keeping this story alive. Our community appreciates this.

A very timely research publication from our friends at @sikhsforautism.
The OAC strongly supports community led data collection. This valuable work is a launching point.
Congratulations allies!

UPDATED OAP NUMBERS!
We sent in another FOI request to MCCSS. The graphic below visualizes what it showed. We're working hard to keep you informed bc families should know what's going on.

These kids are IN DANGER&languishingPS.
This one is hard to even type.
A PDSB teacher alleges that non-verbal autistic students children who cannot call for help, are going missing during nutrition breaks because no support staff are available to watch them. And what’s worse, the teacher alleges parents were not told the truth.
For 7 hours a day, do you know what’s happening to your kids?

The @OntAutism has received an updated FOI from @ChildrenON about children/youths' access to core clinical services. We are keeping our community informed and shining a light on things. Stay tuned for a big announcement on Oct 23! #60KIsNotOK #onpoli #cdnpoli #NeedsBasedTherapy

Thank you @JohnFraserOS for making time to meet with families to talk about special education in Thunder Bay! Sharing our stories is how we make change happen. #50KIsNotOk #60KIsNotOk #onpoli #onted #NeedsBasedTherapy #DontLookAwayOntario
Thank you @JohnFraserOS for making time for families! It was great to catch up and talk about what is and isn’t working well here in Thunder Bay. #NeedsBasedTherapy #60KIsNotOK #50KIsNotOK #onpoli #DontLookAwayOntario
Cost wise: that’s akin to the whole provincial autism program budget for an entire YEAR

6 years of time and opportunity wasted at the detriment and stress of children and families.
Our children and families deserve better. I will always strand strong with @OntAutism and fight for a #NeedsBasedTherapy program. #Nepean #onpoli #50KNotOK
Today marks the 6th anniversary of @fordnation & @MacLeodLisa demolishing the Ontario Autism Program. There are still OVER 50K autistic children waitlisted for support.
Ask the candidates why.
@MichaelParsa #50KIsNotOK #onpoli #onted #onlab #WeHaveReceipts #DontLookAwayOntario
How many bureaucrats did you put to work fixing the #OAP so that it actually is a world class program?? It’s currently NOT #NeedsBasedTherapy
It’s #AgeDiscrimation
And the wait time for core is ridiculous!! Boo @fordnation
#onpoli
It’s been a busy day getting it done here in Ontario. Check out what we did today, Friday, November 8:
✅ @GregRickford commemorated Indigenous Veterans Day to recognize the contributions of the thousands of Indigenous armed forces members who have helped keep our country and allies safe and secure.
✅ @DavidPiccini and @nolanmquinn announced that we are making it easier for Canadian Armed Forces members, military spouses and veterans to start careers in the skilled trades and tech sector.
✅ @Sflecce, @LisaThompsonPC, @JAYakabuski and @RudyCuzzetto announced the construction of a new hot cell that will produce more cancer fighting nuclear isotopes at @Bruce_Power. They also announced that Bruce Power will begin the refurbishment of its Unit 4, which will extend its operating life by at least another 30 years.
✅ @PinsonneaultLKM announced the launch of the RuralGROW Accelerator program. The new 12-week program will help businesses in rural communities transition from startups to full-scale operations.
✅ @DavidPiccini spoke at the Pathways to Inclusion Summit, hosted by Newcomer Women’s Service Toronto and the Rotman School of Management, to discuss how our government is addressing the needs of immigrant women, newcomers and our workforce.
System failures=CAS (no abuse/neglect) last ditch effort help or rock bottom surrender=astronomical fiscal $, yet NO ability to progress/address complex needs. Solution Time! Ex: #MedicareForAutism/@MichaelParsa requests Feds Canadian Health Transfer= #NeedsBasedTHERAPY. #onpoli
@isaaccallan Profoundly disturbing. @MichaelParsa The people of Ontario know exactly who is responsible for these deaths @PatriquinCarla
Oh! It can be funded, if @fordnation truly started to care about the #autism community!! And it could be #NeedsBasedTherapy
His priorities are disgusting!! #onpoli
I’ve been told directly that I am being “unrealistic” asking for the ON Autism Program to be funded for every child who’s registered yet I continually see headlines like the one below.
I hear you loud & clear @fordnation.
#50KIsNotOk #WeHaveReceipts #DontLookAwayOntario #onpoli
NO worse place #autism then CAS unless abused! CAS can’t obtain FULL #NeedsBasedTherapy #aba. Ontario’s returned to barbaric INSTITUTIONALIZATION times😡price point’s ASTRONOMICAL for LIFE with NO progress and ZERO QoL😢 @MichaelParsa serious talk #SevereAutism needed. #Onpoli
The fact that families are increasingly coming to @OntAutism asking about how to access CAS & not the autism pgm is all the proof we need. @fordnation made a giant mess of this and no amount of beer will ever fix it
#50KIsNotOk #onpoli #onted #WeHaveReceipts #DontLookAwayOntario
A world class program would be based on #NeedsBasedTherapy and not have funding caps based on age. #50KIsNotOk
The Ontario government refers to the new ON Autism program as "world-class".
It is NOT world-class if over 50K kids are STILL waitlisted for BASIC CORE services.

@fordnation @MichaelParsa
Denver sat on Panel deciding fate ASD children😡Ontario. @MichaelParsa 40% CAS surrender’s DISGRACE!Neurodiversity/self advocates ALWAYS more concerned with identity politics+recruitment selfDx🙄#autism. #NeurodevelopmentalDISORDER DEFICITS require #NeedsBasedTherapy/ABA #onpoli
@MattJDever lol they blocked me.
This is the link. This is the message. Spread it.

Autism doesn't end at any age & neither should required support, services, or therapies. #AutismIsLifelong #50KIsNotOK #ONpoli #onted #NeedsBasedTherapy
@fordnation @ToddSmithPC @MichaelParsa
It’s falling through the looking glass. Nothing’s designed to include #SEVEREautism. Schools can’t progress/keep safe THIS LEVEL behavioural/functional deficits. Traumatic parts=ASD/self injury/aggression. #Nonverbal @MichaelParsa require #ScrapTheCaps/#NeedsBasedTherapy #onpoli
Many parent caregivers can relate. There’s not much help for us financially, mentally and emotionally.

&they said tbe liberal plan wasn’t taking care of all the kids. So this is better? It was a two year waitlist & based on need. Simple tweets would have made @fordnation truly a world class program provider! Realize the difference & fix this problem. #NeedsBasedTherapy 4 all!
Services delayed are services denied! You can’t turn back time @MichaelParsa and developmental years are precious beyond measure.
It’s time for you to acknowledge this program needs a serious funding envelope so it can help more than 1:5.
