We are at a crisis moment in Canada. Autism Speaks, an organization that is broadly condemned by autistic people, is poised to be in control of much of Canada’s autism policy. This includes funding for health, housing, police education, and social services. They are doing this through a proposed national policy initiative called the National Autism Strategy.
Every autistic-led advocacy group in Canada opposes the National Autism Strategy.
Instead, we want government to include autistic people within its broader disability policies. This is crucial to our human rights.

Because of internet problems I’m currently having I can’t click the continue reading link. Is there anything non-Canadians can do?
The petition above can be signed by anyone.
Signal boost as much as possible.
This website is very us-centric but the more non-Canadians that share it, the better a chance that Canadians will see it on their dashboard.
