Can you sue your parents for having a disability?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't really think that helps either. I don't find any comfort in the idea that other people have it worse than I do. Plus, feeling bad about it won't help anything.

It's not about finding comfort in other people misfortune, but to appreciate what you have.

What, precisely, is the difference?

To clarify, what is the difference between finding comfort in other people's misfortune or using their misfortune to remind yourself of what you have?

There is a huge difference.

Wanting violence done to someone to make them suffer is not the same thing as being aware the universality of suffering that already exists in the world.

Where exactly did I state anything about wanting violence done to someone to make them suffer?

Can I sue my parents for my disability? They failed to have tubes put in my ears so I had hearing loss and made me be like this.

Can I sue mine for having a large family and making me get less attention.

Fun fact: In Hong Kong, it is now legal for your parents to sue you for neglecting them.

Gotta love how I never forget useless pieces of information.

I really think this is a silly question. Your parents probably would have gathered you didn't have a disability too.

No, you can't sue your parents for inheriting a genetic disorder.

Why do you want to sue your parents, anyway?

This I understand. But I can't understand wanting to sue your parents for something which is out of their control. From what I understand, you can't yet test for Autism during pregnancy.

Attention all single Wrongplaneteers:

Dont EVER get romantically involved with another person here on WP!

Because it is gross, and willful, negligence!

you're on the spectrum, and so likely would any romantic partner you would meet here.

You might end up married and having kids. And your kids will get a double dose of your aspie/autie DNA!


When you get your ass sued by your future children, or grandchildren, dont say I didnt warn you!

Thats the kind a precedent that would be set if you succeeded in sueing your parents because you're autistic.

My teachers in grammar school told my parents that I had serious issues but my parents did nothing about it except to scold and blame me. They asked why I could not be like the other kids--why didn't they put me in a special school or something or get me some social skills training or counseling? I am 55 now but surely something could have been done.

At one point my parents took me to a neurologist in Atlanta and all the way home grumbled about losing time from work. They brought this up again over the years when they became angry. They kept telling me there was nothing wrong with me but I knew better--I had no one to go to or to talk to. We never discussed it at home--I wasn't allowed to bring it up. A few weeks later, I was expelled from my grammar school for the remainder of the year and had to finish the year at a different school. This only made things worse. At home, I would fly into rages and bang my head and try to seriously injure myself so I could go to the hospital instead of school. In school, my grades plummeted because I was not trying. My parents would say "we should send that crazy kid to Milledgeville." In some ways I wish they had sent me away.

Instead of sympathy and understanding, my parents told me I brought it on myself and now I would have to deal with it. When I would cry because I had to go back to school, my parents would tell me if I had done right none of this would have happened.

Thank god they are dead now and I hope they are burning in hell--I hate them.

I forgot to ask this question--if my parents were still alive could I sue them for negligence? I would really like to know even though it is too late now. I feel like I deserve something for them making me an emotional cripple.

One more question if anyone knows--I went to public school from 1965-1977. I am from Georgia. What, if any, resources, did they have back then for kids like me? Could I have been helped in some way? This has really been bugging me and I would like some input if anybody knows.

I am now living in fear that one of my kids or grand kids is going to see this thread and sue me . Well, if they do they'll find out who Santa REALLY is when they wake up on Christmas morning with a lump of coal in their stocking.

Sorry but I will discuss the morality ... or I should say Amorality ... of doing this to your parents.

Its NOT a simple yes or no answer, its a "do you even realise the consequences, not only for your own parents, but also for other parents and other people with Autism - or with any other condition or disability - if you were to ever win such a case?"

Can you imagine all the parents who would then get an abortion if their child had the slightest "abnormality"?

Not only is it completely amoral to sue your parents for your disabilities, but if you were to win such a case you would also bring death upon others.

And Greb, I understand the meaning of your post. Despite some impairments or issues, we (most human beings) tend to focus on what we don't have, and forget to be grateful for what we do have.
