[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 543526, member: 1550"] DON'T GIVE UP! I was told straight out, because of my child being Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), that they NEVER say "yes" until the fourth time. In fact, the request for disability never gets seen by the right people until the fourth time. My son has high functioning autism (and it IS high functioning...he does better than most kids who are labeled Aspies) and he got disability and all the services he needs that go with it. Even more telling, *I* got disability and I wasn't even fishing for it...I had gone to the department of workforce development and I had to take a test and have a job assessment at a sheltered workshop before they would work with me...plus I had to apply for disability. So I did all of that expecting to find out that DDW will work with me. Instead I got ok'd for disability, which shocked me. I have a part-time job too and I still get it. DON'T GIVE UP!!!! A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is serious. He may be able to work in a very easy job, but he needs to be able to COMPETE in the workforce to count as not disabled. If the only thing he can do well is stack boxes, that's not enough, at least not in Wisconsin. We never even bothered with an attorney. I *have* heard that Florida is bad for any sort of entitlement programs though. I know all states are different. [/QUOTE]
