Federal Bill C - 22 

Passed in March 2023, Bill S-203 establishes a national framework to better support autistic Canadians, their families, and caregivers. This framework will focus on areas like early diagnosis, financial aid, research, and national awareness campaigns. Importantly, autistic individuals will be directly involved in its development.

​

This bill is a major step towards:

 

• Consistent and equitable support for autistic Canadians across the country.

• Addressing gaps and inequities in current provincial/territorial policies.

• A robust National Autism Strategy that meets the diverse needs of autistic people and their families.
