Autism Nova Scotia Leadership - Members Statement

CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : I rise today to recognize the leadership of Autism Nova Scotia at a time when harmful and misleading rhetoric about autism is circulating beyond our borders. When public figures in the United States have spread misinformation, Autism Nova Scotia has continued to serve as a trusted, evidence-based voice here at home. They have safeguarded the dignity of autistic people and have worked tirelessly to foster understanding, acceptance, and inclusion across our province.

I ask all leaders in this House and beyond to join me in rejecting misinformation, to continue advancing greater acceptance and stronger supports for autistic and neurodiverse Nova Scotians, and to celebrate the leadership of Autism Nova Scotia.
