the current government for slashing autism funding. This particular battle is all too familiar for Deskin – who 15 years ago was part of a group that successfully sued the province’s then-Liberal government for its age-based cut-off, at six years old, from autism support.
Levy, who is an autism activist and Deskin’s cousin, said that without financial support for autism programs and treatments, the lives of these families have “turned into a living hell.” Before the Deskin family got a six-month notice about Michael’s funding being cut off in February, he was receiving 40 hours a week of services and support.
In February, Lisa MacLeod, who was minister of children, community and social services at the time, announced changes to the Ontario Autism Program in an attempt to clear a waiting list of 23,000 children. Families with children under six years old receive $20,000 per year now. When their child turns six, they receive $5,000 per year until they are 18.
fordnation why do you classify autism under the Ministry of Children? It's a health issue. And it doesn't end when someone reaches the age of majority. Maybe your Government doesn't want to publically pay for health care? Health care in 🇨🇦 always costs more than it is worth.

DougFord this idiot much cares about autism - does he even know what it is?
Eugene..stay out of politics .or get in the game. Know what you are talking about or say nothing.
it is a health issue - like dementia Alzheimer's - therapy medications can have a positive outcome - denying it is dereliction of duty by Government
Talk to the Liberals! They got us to this point where cuts are necessary!
Ford needs it to pay his drug dealers
ford is funding more than wynne. let's everybody sue for everything that the taxpayers can't afford. why is autism more important than any other illness? fulltime expensive care for one versus helping many. look in the long term care homes and group homes for many that need help
Stick with your failing tv show, you have no clue.
He does educate himself on funding right?
