Province Seen To Do
Too Little For Autism
Especially by NDP, moms and the wealthiest
In a random sampling
of public opinion taken by the Forum Poll™ among 1154 Ontario adults, fully two
thirds disagree that Ontario is doing enough for autistic children in the
province (67%), while just more than a tenth agree the province is doing enough
(13%). Disagreement that the government has the autism issue in hand is
especially common to the wealthiest ($100K to $250K - 71%), in northern Ontario
(69%), among New Democrats (72%) and mothers of children under 18 (70%).
“This is a case
where a relatively small number of parents have had a larger impact than their
numbers would suggest, and have spread their message to other parents who don’t
have autistic children" said Forum Research President, Dr.
Lorne Bozinoff.
