The disability program is hurting society. You can get disability for having autism.

Once they are on it, they have incentives to stay on it forever. If they make even one dollar working they lose it all, so they make extra cash under the table through committing fraud, selling drugs, etc.

No one can sue them and take it away, so they do things like go without insurance, buy things on credit with no intent to pay, titling their car in someone else's name, and hundreds of other tricks they learn in their new 'job'. By day they can do whatever they want. People who work have to pay not only to sustain them but also for the damage that they are causing directly to them.

Autism can be a severe disability, not just the mild "geeky asperger" type. One could literaly not be able to communicate at all...

Seconded. That stood out to me too in his post. Disability seems to be widely abused in the western world. I'm for social welfare, but I'm not for mismanagement and abuse. Disability as it exists today is a concern that needs to be addressed.

You guys have the advantage of being able to work. Your minds and bodies are healthy. Man up and take care of those less fortunate, even if it means a minority game the system.

That's not at all what I meant, attacking the legitimately handicapped. You should be ashamed of yourself taking it out of context on purpose just to self-righteously complain.

Everyone is for rugged individualism until they're incapacitated. Good luck.

I think you'll need the good luck with the reading comprehension displayed here. I'm as for disability assistance as much as anyone you'll find.
