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

  • Firstly, there you go again falsely claiming I have made blanket claims.  Read what I said carefully:

    "There is a lot of research and evidence that autism is linked to the immune system"

    So I'm not going to belabour that point any longer.

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

    This is true, but I don't see your point.  There is a lot of research and bone fide findings based on that research, out there.  Are you saying it's all bunkum!

    I have nowhere said that all autistic people are ill or have immune-system problems.

    I have nowhere said autism is an illness either.

    You have derailed this thread enough.  You clearly just like an argument.  I love a healthy debate, but this one is not based on logic or you correctly reading what I have said.  IntenseWorld is not playing.
