What are the criteria with AS to get DLA?

IntenseWorld

Has anybody with ASD (adult) got DLA and what rate is normally awarded for AS?  I haven't had a reply yet but my eldest's DLA was refused so now I don't hold much hope that they will grant mine.

    So why can no one campaign(NAS) and say certain diagnosed conditions (AUTISM)  should be exempt from continous (target) assessment taking into account the condition.  The pressure is too much for me.

    Because that's discrimination then. Why should certain medical conditions make someone exempt from the assessments? The pressure is also too much for people who are physically disabled and have no learning disability / mental health problem.
