On Thursday I was told this was a stunt. Let me make this clear. This is not a stunt. This is desperation. I have no other option. I don’t want to be here. We are going to have this conversation about goddamn systemic barriers. This is urgent. This is a crisis. #onpoli /1 We have tried to do it privately, advocating as politicians say you should “just reach out. We are here to help”. We don’t need an iPad. We don’t need sensory toys. We need access to healthcare and community services. One size does not fit all. /2

Today marks 4 years and 2 months waiting for autism services in Ontario.

The former Minister of MCCSS @toddsmithpc has deleted the below tweet from 2019.
#onpoli #Quinte #belleville I implore medical & community professionals, members of the panel of clinical experts and the implementation committee for the OAP to have the morale courage to speak about against the barriers families face. The lack of action. @md_mszubairi did in 2020. thespec.com/opinion/contri…

Let me tell you about Sam.
He is partially speaking, madly in love w/Daisy Duck & Minnie Mouse, a sensory seeker & avoider & is the best thing that ever happened to our family. He lives in a neurodiverse friendly house & we are two NT parents lucky enough to be there by his side Before today I have not shared a lot of photos and info because I value our privacy. But this is Ontario. Where vulnerable people and their families have to share their most private medical history, family information and trauma publicly to be heard. Then shuffled. Then ignored.

This is Sam. Sam is 10 and never eaten food. I have asked for help in the healthcare system for more than four years. We are referred to the Ontario Autism program where he has sat on a wait list since July 2017. He is also a Hospital for Sick Kids patient. #onpoli /1 Today I start a peaceful protest and will sit and sleep outside Doug Ford’s constituency office as I advocate for my child. The systemic barriers we have experienced are horrifying.

A thread.

I want to commend @MacLeodLisa for talking about her mental health. Opening up about the most vulnerable moments in life is incredibly difficult.

*You still here? Please keep reading.* /1 As a woman diagnosed w/ PTSD in 2015 after a significant medical trauma & near-death, I can relate to many of the symptoms & experiences Lisa described in her CTV interview yesterday. Trauma therapy saved my life. I am happy to talk mental health anytime, anywhere with anyone. /2

Today marks 900 days waiting for access to the Ontario Autism Program.
Please read this. Let me share with folks outside of the autism community the unbelievable systemic barriers that exist in this province. /1 #onpoli #CutsHurtsKids #AutismDoesntEndAtFord Without divulging detailed private info, my child has a feeding issue related to his autism. Food = staying alive. Staying alive = healthcare. /2
