I am so shocked to hear conservatives talking so positively about this charade. This is a liberal advanced welfare program. You have no idea the money that is being made by parents of autistic kids. They are rolling in the dough. Follow the money and you will find a bunch of welfare queens going on. I am thinking this thread HAS to be a parody or sarcasm or something. Conservatives falling for the Autism scam is so sad. Liberals are eating it up though. The love conservatives being so stupid and gullible.
I can guarantee you that we’re not rolling in the dough from this condition. Someone mentioned Social Security, but we haven’t gotten it. No funds are going into our account. But if we apply and if we even get approved, the little bit of money that might come in won’t offset things so that we would be rolling in dough - or even have any kind of “excess” - which would not be absorbed by costs associated with dealing with this. I can see these costs are only going to increase in order to try to even get him to the point where I would hope him to be - maybe something like Temple Grandin - which would be terrific.
If this is about conservatives getting SS disability money for their children who have been diagnosed with disorders, then there is nothing wrong with that. As long as they are following the law they should receive the benefits.
Would you tell conservatives not to collect any other government benefit they are entitled to, like veteran’s benefits?
The point is that this benefit never should have been created in the first place. I would agree that I and other conservatives would never vote to give children SS benefits, but if it’s there, I say take it! The collapse of the system is coming soon and we might as well not give all of the resources to the libs in the meantime.
I work with Special Education kids and your statements are just plain ignorant. Autism is real, not made up. Maybe you should take some time and go volunteer in a Special Day Class or an Autism Spectrum Disorder class and actually see the kids you are claiming is nothing but a “welfare program”.
With two kids on the spectrum - and with a diagnosis marked "severe", not mild, I must be rolling in the dough then! I wonder why this is all news to me...
