The Ontario Autism Program is FAR from world class. It is underfunded, secretive, inconsistent, and unreliable.

@MichaelParsa what is your plan to bring more children into Core Clinical Services? What is the 2024 target?

@MichaelParsa has had the autism file for a year now. He has not spoken about the OAP other than in QP and he continues to repeat the same talking points and deflections of the last 5 years. There is no #OAPTransparency with this government.

@MichaelParsa there is no rhyme or reason to the OAP. Everything is opinion based with very little to do with needs. This is NOT world class.

In 5 years the @OntarioPCParty has managed to triple the Ontario Autism Program waitlist, yet somehow continue to state the same talking points since 2020.

"I promise to stand by autistic kids 1000%"
Proceeds to destroy their funding system without a replacement causing the waitlist to triple from 23k to 60k and from a 2yr to a 5yrs wait.

Children with autism have the right to access prescribed life-changing therapies. It shouldn't take 5 years to get it.

Why do the media and private citizens have to resort to FOIs to get updates on the status of the Ontario Autism Program?
Where are you @MichaelParsa ?

@fordnation and the PC Party like to say that the new OAP is "world class" but these kids need therapy ASAP!
Parent training is NOT therapy!

Everyone agrees that early intervention is key to the best possible outcomes for children with autism. So why is the wait for funded therapy in Ontario 5 years long?

@fordnation continues to deflect the blame for every problem his party causes, nevermind the fact that the PCs have had power for more than 5 years.

FACT:
@fordnation finally has just as many children accessing funded therapies as the Liberals did 5 years ago.
ALSO FACT:
The waitlist for these services has ballooned from 23k to 60k in 5 years.

A 5 year wait for time sensitive, life changing therapy is unacceptable. Parent training is not enough to bridge the gap!

We're hearing from families across ON: autistic kids are NOT SUPPORTED. There are over 60K kids on the Autism Program waitlist & their families are in the dark. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Families, advocates, and allies are headed to Queens Park on Monday to protest the failing Ontario Autism Program. It's been 5 years of hell with this government.

Advocates for autistic children in Ontario have been using the #50KIsNotOk tag for more than a year and a half. Now it's been upgraded to #60KIsNotOk because more than 60k kids are waiting for Core Funding
