We fight so hard before events like a pandemic because when choices have to be made about human beings during a crisis (public health emergency, economic austerity) our loved ones are dehumanized. Our CHILDREN deemed unworthy. #onpoli#AutismDoesntEndAtFord#2Little2LateTodd
The current stats..
The kids in service decreased from 8000 to 4000. The kids waiting went from 23000 to 45000 in the past 2 years. Most of the budgets were 5K (5000 divided by $55/hr is? ) @ToddSmithPC but we have a pilot program! #2Little2LateTodd@fordnation @MacLeodLisa 2.0
Lisa Macleod infamously stood up and said she had to radically dismantle the OAP because 23,000 children waiting was unconscionable. Today @ToddSmithPC has allowed over 44,000 child wait for evidence based services. #2Little2LateTodd#onpoli
Please watch and listen closely to these parents and advocates. It's been 2 YEARS AGO since @MacLeodLisa created the autism mess and it's no where close to being fixed.

Many Northern, rural, and remote communities are now w/out therapeutic capacity bc of the @fordnation mishandling of the Ont Autism Pgm. It took decades to build that & they dismantled it in one day. Still no plan in place. #AutismDoesntEndAtFord#2Little2LateTodd#onpoli
