Right, for the record, I am an adult with a permanent disability, Autism (the high-functioning kind). I also have other issues to deal with.
1) Should parents have the right to force a permenently disabled Adult who cannot fend for themselves to leave the home? (live on their own)
There are many families who do this to their Son/Daughter.
If a disabled Adult is mentally nor medically able to live on their own, they could run into major problems trying to live by themselves. If they have medical problems that they need everyday care that they cannot provide themselves, this would be an issue if they tried to live on their own.
------
No, this would be downright cruel, and may effectively be a death sentence in many cases. Getting them support from an organisation who can deal with disabled people, who may take care of the disabled person after their parents die, however, is a better alternative.
2) Should Parents who are appointed advocates have the (legal) right to force a permenently disabled Adult to do absolutely everything on their own, when it is made clear they cannot?
If a Disabled Adult has no capability to access transportation, do their own Taxes, nor finances; they will be unable to pay their bills, nor provide for themselves.
-----------------------
No, they would be guilty of negligence in their duties as guardians to the disabled person.
3) Are the current laws/right pertaining to abuse on Disabled people enough?
I'm from the UK, so I don't know what the US laws are like.
4) Are social disabilities completely misunderstood? Could anything bad happening to SSDI (Social Security Disability) cause major devestation to the disabled population?
Many Disabled Adults can never get a job, or no longer are able to keep a job. They rely on SSD to survive their daily lives. They could end up homeless and starving because of this.
There are debates going on as to whether SSD is legal or not, and whether it should eventually be shut down.
There are misunderstandings when it comes to disabilities such as Autism and Asperger's Syndrome, where many feel that they are undeserving of getting Government Assistance because it is not a medical disability to them.
Again, not from the US. However, a lot of disabled people may also have strengths that most people do not have, and it's a matter of getting them support so they get put into jobs where they excel. For me, computer programming is what I do well.
As for Autism/AS not being a medical disability to them, they are woefully mistaken. Trust me when I say Autism is VERY severe. It gives you a lot of weaknesses you have to deal with, but at least you get some strengths to help compensate.
Moving on to other issues, freak shows are something that should only be done by people who are fully aware of what is involved, and are willing to be a part of it entirely of their own free will, with no coercion. I'd like to add that many disabled people still have a lot to offer as far as getting a job is concerned, if people would spend less time focusing on the disability, and more time focusing on the person with the disability, and what they CAN do.
Furthermore, people, disabled or not, provide happiness/love etc to family and others, so for that reason alone, disabled people are NEVER a waste of resources. Lots of people that are disabled didn't get to choose whether or not to be disabled, they have enough to deal with, without people trying to dehumanise them or suggesting that they're a burden. Underneath the disability is a person, just like you, not some subhuman animal. The last thing they need is people making their situation even worse.
