So… Tell me about yourself… Matthew, Ontario Autism Advisory Panelist
I wrote an article for Medium introducing myself as a member of the Ontario Government’s Ontario Autism Program Advisory panel.
On May 30th, I was honoured to be selected as one of the self-advocate members on the Ontario Autism Program Advisory Panel. Our job over the next few months will be to review the feedback from the public consultations over the past few months in telephone town halls, MPP roundtables and the online survey. Out of that, the 20 of us will be providing recommendations to the Ministers of Children, Community & Social Services, Health and Education on how to provide needs based supports to autistic children in Ontario.
@morricemike @OurCommons Thanks for trying. We see you doing the work. We see you standing & pushing. We are grateful that, when you do this- you do it for us all & not JUST for Kitchener. Millions of Canadians with Disabilities are rallying behind you & @BonitaZarrillo & are proud to call you allies.
:( @CQualtro I‘m aggravated by the non-answers to pressing questions that we the #PWD you represent have about the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit. When will it be back on the floor of the House? What is the status with P/T give? Why not use current eligibility? Will you help us now?
Take 2: we’ve again secured 4mins of questions on the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit, with 1 min of follow up @OurCommons. Should be around 6:45pm tonight.
I’ll ask some questions you’ve shared with me and press for meaningful answers.

I encourage everyone to join this space tonight hosted by the graciously helpful @nejsnave. She is boots on the ground, unhoused memorials, food drops weekly, and SMART.
I will be there, we need to support those who support us, thats how pillars of the community are raised. https://twitter.com/nejsnave/status/1576860577376325632
