Why on earth are they being paid DLA for a 7 year old autistic boy?
Perhaps you can enlighten me as to what additional expenses to aid his living an autistic boy would need additional funding for? Usually its spent on things like additional educational requirements, therapy sessions such as anger management and provision of special requirements. My sisters kid can't take swimming lessons with no ASD kids, because it almost always kicks off. So in order to learn something as simple as to swim, he needed specially trained teachers. The local school authority provide exactly f**k all to his school for his Autism, because there are 'not enough' similarly disabled kids in his school (there are three). So any additional educational supplement required is funded from his DLA (currently he's about two years behind the rest of his year in terms of writing, although his reading is on a par).= Unfortunately, there is a lot more to living with a disability, than physical impairment. These days, with this era of cuts, you'll be lucky not to be paying for just about anything you need out of the DLA. Friend of mine had to buy her own wheelchair, as the NHS don't provide wheelchairs suitable for people with Ehlers-Danlos.

Edited by Kosowski (14 Feb 2015 1.50am) No, sadly not. But given the rarity of the disease that's not as unlikely as it seems. I will ask her if she knows a Georgi though (a lot of people with Ehlers-Danlos seem to know each other).

Why on earth are they being paid DLA for a 7 year old autistic boy? Probably because autism is a disability? To be fair if he's Dustin Hoffman rainman Autistic then they don't need any benefits, just get him down the local casino a bit sharpish. As a side issue and in realtion to another thread, I now conceed there is such a thing as a s*** fcuk, because she is one ugly swamp donkey.

Can't really be arsed to read this thread, but if I could make a w***y pseudo-intellectual interjection for a minute... Isn't it arguably right-wingers, who have fetishised the notion of motherhood within traditional family units that have ultimately sewn the seeds of this sort of attitude?

From the LSE Becks. "The economic impacts of autism include expenditure on hospital services, home health care, special education facilities and respite care, as well as lost earnings for both people with autism and their parents."
Loss of earnings definitely does not apply in this case to either parents or child. The allowance in question, is based on mobility issues and those alone, not means tested, purely on the ability of the applicant to perform certain tasks, even more so on ability now iwth the newer PIP assessment routine. There will certainly be mobility issues for this family with this child, however 'mild' his autism is (I havent read the article so don't know how in depth the medical history is discussed in it) I know of several people with children who have a variety of readings on the autistic spectrum that make the use of public transport alone, virtually impossible, let alone any other mobility issues. Shopping alone can be a mission, trips to the doctors, school etc also. I hope that this and others replies have enlightened you sufficiently?

Yes, but they don't actually want to have to pay for it. In their fantasy all women are objects owned by their husbands and utterly devoted to the production of good, wholesome English children who will usher in the new future of the 4th Reich....

Edited by indianapalace85 (15 Feb 2015 3.36pm) Probably more so, once you figure in tax. On the plus side I'm going to assume you're not a swamp donkey who's only contribution to society is to be an ever increasing burden, and who's greatest achievement will be using a toilet.
