There is a 4 month gap in supports… and families are expected to just figure it out.

AFU (autism funding) ends March 2027.
The Child & Youth Disability Supplement doesn’t roll out until the end of July 2027.

That’s 4 months without support.

Progress isn’t something that pauses and resumes. It requires consistency, guidance, and support.

So what happens in those 4 months?

If you’re a parent trying to prepare, advocate? Or understand your options, we’re here to support you.

🧠 Mental health doesn’t get less important just because support needs look ‘low.’

Because what people don’t see is:
– the anxiety behind transitions
– the effort it takes to regulate
– the burnout from masking
– the quiet struggle to keep up socially

These children and youth may not have the same labels…
but their mental health needs are just as important as developmental milestones.

And when support is reduced or removed, we’re not just impacting skills —
we’re impacting confidence, identity, independence, and emotional wellbeing.

Support is what protects progress.

If you’re navigating funding, trying to advocate, or unsure what your child or youth qualifies for — we’re here to help.

Because no child or teen should lose support just because their needs are less visible.

BC’s government announced $475 million and called it help. But not one parent we’ve spoken to, who currently has AFU funding, is relieved.

Let us be clear about something before you watch this: we are not asking for other families to lose anything. Families living with all diversabilities (Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and other conditions) deserved funded support all along. We have always believed that. We said it in our most recent podcast, and we mean it.

What we are saying is AND — not OR.

Autism families are not asking for the supplement to be taken away from other kids. We are asking why the answer to finally including more families had to come at the cost of dismantling what was already working for ours. The math doesn’t add up. The timelines aren’t there. The community hubs aren’t ready. And our kids are already feeling it.

In our most recent podcast, Steph (owner and mother) sat down with Leah ()— a mom of three autistic kids here in BC — who did the math on what her family actually spends on supports every month. The number will stop you.

We talk in this podcast about what therapists are saying behind closed doors, what rural families are facing, why the supplement forces an impossible choice between therapy and groceries, and what a 13-year-old girl said that none of us can shake.

If you’re a BC autism family navigating this transition, this one is for you. And if you’re a family who finally has access to support through this new system — we are genuinely glad. You should have had it all along.
