Adult "Baby" Collecting Disability Benefits

Sign in to disble this ad
I cannot believe we pay for this. This man receives disability benefits because he claims he has "Adult Diaper Syndrome" or "paraphilic infantilism" where a full grown man lives and acts as a baby. This "baby" sleeps in a cribs and feeds himself in a high chair he is able to build for himself for his adult size.

This has got to top the cake for government insanity run amuck. What a joke.

I'm all for freedom of expression and to each their own fetish but this is, in no way, grounds for any kind of preferential treatment by the government.


Pretty damn funny though .

I'm claiming disability because I have an incurable love for sexy asian chicks. It's terminal.

this adds to the list of things I didn't need to know were fetishes. Could be legit though, who are we to judge?

Everything is a fetish. Everything. I'd have a harder time believing that something has not been fetishized actually... for better or worse.

i want disability benefits because i have "motivational impairment syndrome"

for years we sufferers got no respect or sympathy because we were called LAZY!

in recent years however, this dread disease has gotten the understanding it deserves. the rest of you just need to work harder to support my lifestyle. you have no idea how hard it is to sleep till noon and then watch TV all day. please...

work hard, so i don't have to!

Read the entire article.

His benefits have nothing to do with the fetish. Confirmed PTSD, ADHD, Bipolar depressive, Spinal Injury, Heart problems etc. Dare say some of those things may have triggered the behaviour.

If I was an adult baby I'd at least want to be breast fed

If you people would use your critical thinking skills, there is not enough information in the article to truly determine the nature of the disability claim.

The last paragraph states:
Quote:
“I am not getting disability because I am a Adult Baby. No one can get on disability because they are a Adult Baby. I am on disability for legit, tested and well documented illnesses [such as] PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), depression, bipolar 2, spinal injury, heart problems…my role playing is a way for me to relax, not a disability that is being claimed for a disability.”
The article does not confirm or deny this, stating only that a man with paraphilic infantilism has been cleared from suspicion of Social Security fraud.

I didn't read the article before I posted but having done so afterward I stand by my posts.

I saw the bottom part, but this and his other "diseases" are easy to claim. This condition is part of it. And spinal injury? He built a full size crib for himself from scratch.

But seriously, If I were to go to a doctor and got him to diagnose me with the adult baby syndrome, I could probably collect.

I think there is fraud somewhere in his story, but it cannot be proven.

In any event, I had to post just because of how funny the pic is.

Seriously, if he can build his own huge adult crib, his high chair and his huge baby play area - he should be able to work in some capacity.

You know, I saw something kind of like this on 1000 ways to die... I didn't really think the adult baby thing was... Well, a thing.

Just because he did that does not mean he is capable of working. Who knows what sort of mental state he might be in, working with other people? How do we know he didn't do all of that stuff on a "good day," or take years to do it?

Personally, I'm inclined to agree with what you're saying, but you are making assumptions when we do not know all of the facts. This could be just another dude trying to cheat the government, or, it could well be a man with legitimate disabilities who just so happens to also have a bizarre fetish, that allows the media to twist things around into an interesting story.

I'll withhold judgment until I know more about this, but I really don't care enough to do any googling.

Seems like there's a "disease" or "disorder" for everything today.

If this guy is really this screwed up maybe he needs to be in a care facility somewhere.

I thought he was full of it until I read the whole article. You would be suprised at how many 18 yr olds are trying to claim disability. I've got a coworker that has no use of her right arm, and we do computer work. She doesn't claim anything.
