@Sia@maddieziegler your inability to sensitive to a community that is constantly being belittled. To see you take this stance because you wanted to make a profit for your music is extremely disappointing. I highly hope you reconsider recasting or not presenting your film for Feb 2021. 2/2
@Sia@Sia you have always been my favourite singer. I literally have all your discography. But to see you cast @maddieziegler as an autistic person is deplorable. Not only is her reenactment of an autistic person a gross misrepresentation of autism in general, it also demonstrates 1/2
Today I was explaining the new autism program to my daughter's friend, Maddy. I told her that instead of giving each child therapy based on need, they will give everyone the same flat rate of funding. "Isn't that communism?" she said. My jaw hit the floor. #AutismDoesntEndAtFord
@MacLeodLisa BUT YOUR PLAN FORGETS ABOUT THE FUTURE CHILDREN WITH AUTISM TO BE BORN!! Where is the financial security? where is the sustainability of this plan? just saying "no more waitlist" is not enough! #ResignLisaMacLeod#AutismDoesntEndAtFord#onpoli#IdRatherWait

@OntarioNewsNow @AmyFeePC A 7 year old would get 5K/year until age 18. Comprehensive ABA can cost at least 60K/year. How is this fair? Clearing the waitlist shouldn't mean sub-optimal intensity of service #AutismDoesntEndAtFord
Congrats to all those who braved the kind of cold you can only find in Ottawa to speak out against the new autism program. You're amazing. #AutismDoesndEndAtFORD#onpoli https://t.co/NWArHQTYoU
