.@GerryConnolly @MarkWarner @SenTimKaine NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.Medicaid is a lifeline! People with disabilities rely on Medicaid for health care and services to support them in their daily lives. Any cuts to Medicaid hurt those who rely on it. #ProtectMedicaid #ProtectHCBS
Gov @GlennYoungkin, I am inviting you to come meet my ID autistic son who you called a “criminal” to tell you how much that hurt our family. #SayItToMyFace @JulieCareyNBC @DrewWilderTV @NickMinock @JusticeFwdVa @VaAutismProject @ICARSBanRandS @endseclusion @NorthernVAACLU

@GlennYoungkin on 6/29/21 you tweeted that it was “shameful” to reduce the penalty for assaulting an officer, but failed to mention that it was a narrow bill only protecting intellectually, developmentally & mentally disabled people in crisis for facing mandatory min prison 1/4
🧵 Virginia Gov @GlennYoungkin talks a big game about how he listens to parents, but one group of parents he clearly never listens to are parents of disabled children. He vetoed HB267/SB357, without an explanation to all the parents who have fought 5 years to pass this bill. 1/10
I’d like to talk w/@GlennYoungkin & talk to him about all our son has been thru, about how VA criminalizes neurodivergence. I’d like to talk to him about when Q got lost in the woods 2 yrs ago, we delayed calling cops bc we knew law in VA & feared our son in fear might lash out
I've just updated my Linktree with my latest content - check it out here! linktr.ee/vaautismprojec…
Thank you @JenniferBoysko and Del. Watts for protecting our most vulnerable populations. @GovernorVA please allow SB357 and HB267 to become law.
BREAKING: Bills aimed at Amending the Assault on Law Enforcement Statute to protect people with autism, ID/DD, and serious mental illness are headed to the Gov’s desk! Thanks Sen. @JenniferBoysko & Del. Watts for your commitment to serving our most vulnerable populations! #VALeg
We join in thanking Senator Boysko @JenniferBoysko and Delegate Watts for protecting autistics and others from disproportionally harmful felony convictions.
We join in thanking Senator Boysko @JenniferBoysko and Delegate Watts for protecting autistics and others from disproportionally harmful felony convictions.
The assault on law enforcement statute is a problem for many reasons. For those with loved ones with mental health disorders or ID/DD, calling the police in a crisis can end with a felony charge from THE VERY OFFICERS THAT WERE CALLED TO HELP. #VALeg aims to amend the statute. 1/

We are very pleased to share that @GlennYoungkin @GovernorVA has issued a proclamation declaring Oct 9, 2023, PANS/PANDAS Awareness Day. This is a critical step toward ensuring young people get the life-saving treatment and insurance coverage they deserve. governor.virginia.gov/newsroom/procl…
One vote could make the difference between whether or not MAGA Republicans take total control of Virginia, giving them the power to ban abortion, weaken gun laws, and put the middle class at risk. Make your one vote count. Early voting starts September 22.
We are seeing the crushing effects on families already as the 90s/2000s severe autism cohort leaves school for ZERO services. School provides a dangerous FALSE security for 22 years. Then? Holy sh&tballs - crash. We need IDEA for adults w ID/autism. Mandated (yeah, I said it)…

UK children waiting 16 months on average for ADHD and autism screening – study theguardian.com/society/2023/j… Probably repeating myself here. Huge (huge!) numbers of kids waiting for assessment. And the question: why the increase?

.@GerryConnolly @MarkWarner @timkaine People with disabilities use Medicaid services to support them in their daily lives. There's not enough funding. we can't allow govt. funding negotiations to CUT services further, impacting the lives of millions. #SaveMedicaid #CareCantWait
