Hi NAS36051,
I'm sure there will be some people who can share their personal experiences to help you out, but in the meantime, have you seen the pages on PIP and DLA on the NAS website? I'll attach the links for you to have a look and the helpline might be useful for you too.

You may also find our Autism Helpline team useful, as they can give general autism information and advice, but please be aware that they are unable to offer specialist advice on benefits.
To contact the Helpline directly you may wish to call them on 0808 800 4104 (Monday to Thursday 10am to 4pm, Friday, 9am to 3pm). Please press Option 2 to speak to an adviser. Please note the Helpline team are experiencing a high volume of calls so it could take you a few attempts to get through to an adviser.
Kind regards,
Heather - Mod
