A marketing student with Asperger syndrome demanded an apology from Doug Ford at an afternoon debate Wednesday for controversial remarks Ford made earlier this year about a centre for autistic kids.

Tommy Lenathen is a grandfather, father of a 26-year-old with autism, complainant with the integrity commissioner and, according to Doug Ford (against whom he filed the complaint), a jihadist.

The father of an autistic child has launched a complaint with the city’s integrity commissioner over Doug Ford’s comment that a centre for autistic children had “ruined” an Etobicoke neighbourhood.
