Travel insurance and autism
Just looking at travel insurance and when I input DS1 as autistic on the sites it is bumping the premiums and is reducing the number of companies available to us.
Does anyone have any advice or recommendations? |

I’m not sure what to put on ours. We are still going through trying to get a diagnosis for what we think is autism so he isn’t officially diagnosed with anything at the moment

We are with nationwide and they didn't want anymore to upgrade with my DS. It was just noted on the sheet.

If you dont have a diagnosis then you dont have autism(as far as insurance companies go only 😂 diagnosis can take years! Other than that at no point has my child ever had iincreased premiums because of it. It’s not a medical condition that requires medication or treatment.

Our insurance is through our bank account. To add on my son's 'autism' we needed to pay £60. We opted to not have it on for the same reason as above, it doesn't require medication or treatment x

Just out of curiosity ,if anyone is awaiting tests does it not have to be declared as such ? I can understand your point about it not being a medical condition but I honestly thought that if you see your GP and are then awaiting tests it will be on your medical docs and need declaring .another point is if your child was to have a meltdown and injure themselves or anyone else would you be covered ?
I’m just wondering why some companies won’t cover for it and other companies will cover but for an added premium , I’m not disputing what you are saying but my policy clearly states that they will not cover if you are undergoing any tests and do not have a diagnosis .most companies have the same exclusions .

Autism is a nurological delvelopment disorder rather than a medical illness, injury or condition that requires medication. Id wager that those who have told you there is a cost to cover insurance doesnt quite understand what Autism is. You wouldnt expect an extra charge if you had a speech impediment would you or if you had a squint.
Medical conditions requiring additional consideration only if you require medication or treatment for it. My Gallbladder investigations required me telling the insurance company but was still covered. We have medical insurance through Nationwide Flex Plus account. There was no additional charge for my son because of his autism. If he falls over during a meltdown and hurts himself he is covered. |
