Critical illness payout for autistic child?

jenski

Hi,

I have recently discovered that I have critical illness (not terminal illness) insurance for my children and it has come to my attention that there is a case going through at the moment where a mother is fighting to claim a payout for her autistic son.  In my opinion she is more than entitled to it as autism is an incurable life long dibilitating illness and as a parent it is a life changing experience to have a child with this condition, I know that NAS are backing her.  Anyway, I am also looking into finding out about claiming on my policy and am just wondering if anyone has any experience with this?

Thanks

Parents

  • Not all Scientists are good Scientists and not all Scientists speak the truth.

    I am aware of epigenetics - I have researched it in depth.

    You make blanket claims just by saying 'autistic individuals have'.. To avoid this, it is better to say 'many' or even 'some', to back up your opinion.

    I rarely get ill, and have never taken antibiotics. Other people with autism get ill a lot, but I know several people with Aspergers who are in normal, and even optimal, health. Maybe we don't really have Aspergers then because we are too healthy.

    Do you think Aspergers is a sickness? A toxic pathology? The problem with this view, regardless of its  merits, is that it suggests autism is an illness.
