My 29yr old son has autism. I'm his biggest advocate/problem solver. I work very hard to ensure he's happy, successful & fully engaged with our community.

@ToyotaCanada, my 2021 #Rav4Hybrid sat in my driveway for 19 days while I was on vacation. When I returned my battery was completely dead. The dealership said that's to be expected. I disagree, as the Toyota literature lists steps to take if storing for 30+ days. #deadbattery

My son has #autism. He works PT & receives #ODSP. He's been hired to work on election day & the pay is $20/hr x 17hrs = $340. Sound good? It would be except @fordnation penalizes ODSP clients w/ heavy claw backs. After everything is calculated the $340 will be reduced to $85!

#ODSP recipients cannot work FT, that's why they're receiving ODSP. What good does it serve to penalize them & hold them in legislated poverty? #Autism #Brampton @BramptonGraham @patrickbrownont @ONSocialService @markwafer @MayorOliviaChow @RoweSantos @ODSPAction #onpoli
Retirees get upset when they find out their #OAS will be clawed back by 15% if their annual income exceeds $90,997 but no outcry for #ODSP clients, like my #autistic son, who face a 75% clawback after they earn $1,000/m. Why? #Autism #PWD #Disabilities @Disability_WP #poverty

I won $1,000 on @breakfasttv this morning! Well, it was supposed to be my husband's winnings but he forgot his cell phone at home, so I answered. To quote @Sid_Seixeiro, "tough luck Steve"! 😂Thanks for the laugh and money you guys.

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

My son has #autism & loves to read. I wanted him to read the #HarryPotter series so we made a deal. Finish book 1 and you can rent movie 1, etc. He agreed. Now he's a fan & half-way thru the 3rd book.🙂 For his b-day, we took him & his friends to #CursedChildCAN & they loved it!
My #autistic son didn't express much interest in #Halloween when he was younger. Now, he loves picking his costume (and the dog's), decorating the yard & handing out candies to the kids. #Brampton #Autism @PeelAutism @AutismONT @OntAutism @InclusionNS @dsontario @Inclusion_Wpg
