Today, I had the pleasure of joining @OntAutism at Queen's Park on their advocacy day for their reception and a meeting with my colleagues @laurasthornhill & @logankanapathi. Thank you to Alina, Tony, Kate, Bruce & all the OAC families for coming to the legislature to share your experiences with us.
@MichaelParsa @laurasthornhill @LoganKanapathi Thank you @MichaelParsa. Looking forward to our questions being answered and to some real movement in that waitlist.
@MichaelParsa @OntAutism @laurasthornhill @LoganKanapathi A meeting and a photo op but I'm sorry my puppet master corrupt Drug Ford said we only have money for spa and highways.
@MichaelParsa @OntAutism @laurasthornhill @LoganKanapathi Please don’t make autistic kids wait 6 plus years for support. It’s cruel for those who struggle with basic hygiene, safety & communication. STOP THE AGE CAPS! You made us wait 6yrs, in 2yrs her funding drops drastically. She still has profound nonverbal autism & requires IBI+SLP
@MichaelParsa @OntAutism @laurasthornhill @LoganKanapathi 60,000 and growing Mikey…
@MichaelParsa @OntAutism @laurasthornhill @LoganKanapathi Why dont you put AUTISM in the MOH where it belongs? That way the government would have access to federal funds through CHT or any deals that can be negotiated through health accords. AUTISM is a MOH issue NOT a ministry that deals with welfare. OAC doesn't advocate for this
@MichaelParsa @OntAutism @laurasthornhill @LoganKanapathi It's great you met with this wonderful organization but actions needs to follow if you want your words to be believed.
@MichaelParsa @OntAutism @laurasthornhill @LoganKanapathi I appreciate you meeting with this excellent organization but it needs to be followed by real action. Too many children are going without much-needed support at an age where it’s most beneficial. #60KIsNotOK
@MichaelParsa @OntAutism @laurasthornhill @LoganKanapathi When can we expect some movement on the waitlist mikey?
