Autistic Children Left In The Cold With CUPE Doll Wannabe

Yellow Bellied McShifty is getting his wish. Autistic children will not get IBI treatment beyond the age of 6, which will save the province quite a wad of cash.

In my fourth blog post ever (back in the early days), I posted how Ontario was “robbing autistic Paul to pay for Mary’s Peter”.

The gender reassignment surgery issue was closed last November with the tribunal stating that three of the four who were fighting to have their surgery paid for by tax payers got their wish, but the fourth (a CUPE employee) did not as he was not enrolled in the program before October 1, 1998. It also closed the door to any others entering the clinic after the 1998 date when the Harris government shut the door on paying for a pump-a-penus.

But the autistic cut being upheld will stand. Now many of the parents are either moving to Alberta and/or petitioning for a national level autism plan. I wish them, and their children well.
