[QUOTE="keista, post: 468002, member: 11965"] I was recently told just to apply. Don't worry if he does or doesn't qualify, just apply. Oddly enough, I was told to apply for my son to get him thorough evaluations. If SSI doesn't like what he already has, evaluation-wise, they'll get more done. I've also considered applying in the past for my son so there is a precedent set for him. "Our" kids have lifelong issues, but they are issues that can ebb and flow in intensity. I figured if I got it for my son while he was young, it would be a record for the future. He would loose it if he found work, but what if he can't find work again when he's older? Aspies are notoriously horrible at interviews. Also, having been on SSI kinda "validates" the disability so employers would have to make "reasonable accommodations". [/QUOTE]
