NEW: Experts question whether Edward Coristine, a DOGE staffer who has gone by “Big Balls” online, would pass the background check typically required for access to sensitive US government systems. wired.trib.al/TQohcP5

Want to get mad?
Stay tuned to watch @PaulCalandra engage in some grandstanding to try and distract from a serious problem in this province.
First, @MTaylorNDP asks @fordnation why it’s okay for @samoosterhoff to brush off a constituent asking for help.

TRIGGER WARNING
In QP today @DrFullertonMPP completely misrepresents reality when asked by @MTaylorNDP when the Minister is going to overhaul the broken autism system, given significant ongoing delays and faults in its latest version.

A few months ago, @AutismONT asked my son & I if we'd be interested in participating in their #JourneyToAdulthood series. We agreed. Our topic was employment & what that means to an #autistic person. #Brampton #Autism #ASD @markwafer @ScottCorb @SenBoehm

The “world-leading” autism program continues to be an embarrassment.

After @MacLeodLisa destroyed the autism program, @ToddSmithPC promised openness and transparency.
Years later, there has been almost no progress, and @DrFullertonMPP continues to leave families in the dark.

Where are you @DrFullertonMPP? Families and journalists are begging for information about the Ontario Autism Program and you are freezing them out. #Heartless #NoTransparency4Autism #50kisnotok

My son has been on the Ontario Autism Program waitlist for over 5 years. If he got the therapy he needs today, he would benefit greatly! It would literally change his life. @fordnation @DrFullertonMPP Where are the 8000 waitlisted children guaranteed into service by Fall 2022?

Every week I will pick a new @fordnation MPP to email and request answers as to why the Ontario Autism Program has been delayed 4 years. I will name the MPP here and I will update each week if I get a response. Up this week will be @PaulCalandra . #Onpoli #50KIsNotOk

Did you know that when an autistic child turns 10 yrs old in Ont. The amount of $ they are eligible for to access therapy dramatically decreases? Making these kids wait 5-6 yrs so they are all over 10 will really pay off for @fordnation! Was this your plan all along? #50KIsNotOk

Four years ago, 23,000 kids in Ontario were on the waitlist for autism therapy. It's now at 56K.
Imagine 56,000 children waiting in line - for years - to have a physical health issue treated. So how is this ok?

Right after @MacLeodLisa was re-elected, @SophieMomRN and I both tried again to get a meeting with our MPP.
As you can read below, it went as well as you’d expect.

As Doug Ford takes his oath a small group of protestors for children with autism chants 54K is not ok. There are roughly 54 thousand children w autism now waiting for core services - double the amount from 4 years ago and enough to fill the Rogers centre #onpoli
