You are right , and I am tried of their advocacy groups constantly pushing for more funding, above what other children get; and have been taking away from other children for years. They have turned the class rooms into a three ring circus. There are thousands of "Normal" children who's family circumstances do not allow enrichment of any kind, and because of the extra funding going to these individuals, the school system does not have the extra funding to provide. while this special interest group continues to harp for more funding for their children, my wallet is closed. They should get the same as any other child and no more. You want more pay for it your selves. 

The others that you mention elderly etc have paid taxes etc into society for years. Many of these children will never hold a job, nor contribute to general society, and will be collecting  ODSP their entire lives. 

Wonder what is going to happen when the cash runs out ?
