Ontario Conservatives Cut Support Services for Autism Care

The Conservative Ontario government has actively created a campaign to break the social safety net for meeting the needs for kids with Autism. The Conservative government has been over-calculating the cost of the existing program to move to privatize the entire system and disregard the feedback  and being actively hostile to the the industry professionals who provide care. The new system with provides paltry annual payouts that fall very short of costs of services like therapy, rather than providing the comprehensive care system that existed previously.

#AutismDoesntEndAtFORD

[chrismcshell]

today (thursday, march 7th, 2019) there is a protest happening at queen's park in support of funding for ABA/IBI therapy.

parents are subjecting their autistic children to noise and chaos and general sensory hell in the name of a kind of therapy that actively harms them.

these parents and "advocates" are aggressively spreading myths about how intensive behavioural therapy is the only way their child will have a future.

i highly recommend following "A4A Ontario" on twitter and/or facebook (not sure if they're on tumblr or any other social media; they seem to be most active on twitter anyway); they are an excellent self-advocacy organization that has been doing great work covering and counter-protesting all this "#AutismDoesntEndAtFord" nonsense.

be there for your autistic friends and family in ontario today. we have been fighting for so long to be seen as people and we are still being ignored. it is exhausting, depressing, discouraging.

do what you can, whether it's showing up to counter-protests, sharing information on social media, or simply giving your autistic pals some space to care for ourselves and cope with everything that's happening today.

@allthecanadianpolitics

i haven’t had the time or energy to properly address this but the news in ontario re: cuts to “autism services” (read: ABA/IBI and basically nothing else) has been extremely frustrating and depressing.

it hurts so damn much to see actual autistic people completely excluded from the conversation; to see “progressive”, left-leaning politicians supporting ABA uncritically; to see my own friends and family speaking out in support of ABA services.

the world as a whole really doesn’t care about autistic people and it really, really sucks.

if you want to be a real ally to autistic people:

start listening to what autistic adults have to say.

share it widely; share videos, blog posts, articles made by autistic people.

remember that even those of us who cannot speak verbally can write, can use AAC, can communicate in a variey of ways. all kinds of autistic people are able to share their stories on the internet. seek them out, read/watch/listen to them, share them.

autistic people who have lived through ABA can personally tell you how traumatic it was for them. listen to them. share their words.

stop allowing “Autism Parents” and ABA practitioners to be the only “authorities” on autism-related issues.

stop allowing ABA to be the only “therapy” available for autistic people.

stop allowing more generations of autistic children to be put through “therapy” that does far more harm than good.

RT @beyrima: You shoulda seen the looks on PC MPPs’ faces when they realized they’d allowed @MTaylorNDP’s motion demanding a needs-based, evidence-based rewrite of the #autism plan to pass by mistake Yup. They passed it. Let’s see if they break this promise too #AutismDoesntEndAtFord
