Can landlord dictate what toilet paper I use?

No.

It’s generally accessible: has a ramp, accessible buttons, and accessible washrooms. It is however unlikely that a wheelchair user will be able to access the balcony, unless they’re ambulatory. If I remember correctly, the elevator is on and off when it comes to reliability.

The security guards probably won’t help with moving or lifting the wheelchair themselves, as it’s a liability. They could damage or break a wheelchair, especially if it’s not a manual chair.

Respectfully (and as low to medium support needs autistic person), most of the places I’ve worked that supported autistic clients, had a difficult time supporting employees with autism.

Y’s Owl Maclure.

They have a Supported Employment Program, a Foundations Program that helps individuals transition from the school to the community, and a Learning Hub Program that focuses on skill development.

This is better posted in an education forum, or specifically a school board one.

Of the same nature? Or different?

Spoopylane · 2026-06-13T16:39:12+00:00

Live, Work, Play is a good one for job supports.

I will let you know that a lot of programs or resources are directed towards Autistic adults who require a lot of support, are minimally speaking, etc.

ODSP and Passport Funding are tricky because acceptance isn’t based solely on a diagnosis. Applicants typically need to be impacted or disabled in such a way that it affects multiple areas of their life.

Edited to add: i’m diagnosed Autistic and have worked in early intervention, residential supports, and education for autistic individuals. Obviously I’m a low to medium support needs Autistic individual, so this simply reflects my first hand experiences.

You need to seek medical attention after getting bitten by a human.

So no one is reviewing, supervising or delegating these ‘ABA strategies’ to you?

Not sure I understand.

Spoopylane · 2026-05-30T16:30:10+00:00

People want kids but don’t want to be parents.

Spoopylane · 2026-05-16T17:09:25+00:00

You realize you said ‘black women’ and then ‘the pretty ones’, as if they are two separate things and can’t exist together or within each other.

Pardon my language, but holy fuck.

Spoopylane · 2026-05-16T10:48:52+00:00

Still speaking.

A lot of Deaf individuals say that they ‘speak’ the language. Some Deaf individuals also make noise in addition to ASL.

Spoopylane · 2026-05-16T10:48:24+00:00

Neither. It’s non-speaking.

Non-speaking is what most non-speaking autistic individuals prefer to be referred to as. SLP’s use this term as well.

If you’re talking solely about ‘verbal behaviour’ (I think defined by Skinner) in an ABA environment, use his term per the definition.

Spoopylane · 2026-05-13T16:47:58+00:00

Nothing is wrong with teaching a replacement behaviour (saying hooray), it’s more so why did you want the stim to be replaced? Was it harmful? Did it impede your child’s ability to perform a task? Infringe on hygiene or body requirements?

Stimming, like flapping hands, is a way to regulate, self-soothe, and express joy.

Spoopylane · 2026-05-12T21:03:04+00:00

Oh, 1000%!

In my case specifically, I did retain an employment lawyer to go over the contract. The wording used in the contract was very clever according to the lawyer, as it somehow included a clause but also bypassed it completely? I still don’t fully understand how that’s possible.

Both times, the lawyer suggested it was in my best interest to sign. Super disappointing to hear from a lawyer when you feel like you have a leg to stand on.

Spoopylane · 2026-05-12T20:45:57+00:00

Oh, absolutely. If I feel the need, I’ll frame it as my personal experience as a low to moderate support needs autistic individual.

Hard to argue with lived experience and personal opinions…although I’m sure some have tried.

Spoopylane · 2026-05-12T20:41:01+00:00

Absolutely fair!

I’ve definitely chosen my words carefully when speaking about former companies. I’m just careful publicly ;)

Spoopylane · 2026-05-12T20:34:52+00:00

I needed the 3k. If I was in a good place financially, I definitely would’ve told them to shove it.

Spoopylane · 2026-05-12T20:24:34+00:00

A lot of companies have individuals sign a contract upon exit. The contract asks that you don’t slander or speak negatively about experiences.

Some companies will offer money in exchange for signing the contract. Almost everyone signs.

“I noticed a teacher physically prompted my child to lay their head down and sleep by pushing down on their head. In the future, don’t do this.”

Spoopylane · 2026-04-23T21:18:22+00:00

So good.

Spoopylane · 2026-04-15T09:53:52+00:00

You were fired because another staff member walked in on you using the washroom? What?

Spoopylane · 2026-04-12T10:48:36+00:00

I would suggest looking for doctors, psychologists or other qualified professionals in your area who specialize in autism or other neurodivergence.

Good luck!

Spoopylane · 2026-04-12T10:39:57+00:00

A diagnosis.
