Members shared the painful and frustrating experience of being repeatedly denied life insurance for their children with autism, developmental disabilities, or mental health conditions, with several companies citing reasons like being more accident-prone or adverse medical information from clearinghouses. Several members found success with Gerber Grow Up insurance when purchased early in childhood before diagnoses were made, though one member noted that even Gerber later denied an increase after an autism diagnosis. A recurring theme was regret over not securing coverage earlier, alongside persistent hope and determination to keep searching for affordable options and advocating fiercely for their children's futures.

@A MyAutismTeam Member yes, it doesn't make sense to me at all either. I should have insured him when he was little, and before being diagnosed at age 18 mos., it has been a regrettably costly error on my part. I am meeting with an insurance agent to sit down and discuss my options on Monday . Farmers Mutual Ins. I am prayerful a breakthrough will come, and it will be affordable, and is what he needs.
