by Some people who have a child with autism can get up to $3,000 from the province to cover the costs of equipment, supplies and other expenses.
The Office of Addictions and Mental Health says the new one-time Autism Family Support Fund is available to lower-income families with an autistic child who’s 16 or younger.
The fund has a million dollars and there’s no deadline for application.
However, no more applications will be accepted when the money is gone and people are encouraged to apply by February 23rd.
