What are the criteria with AS to get DLA?

quote "But not everyone with Autism has care and /or mobility needs. And it's wrong to give someone benefits based on a diagnosis. Certainly when it doesn't cause them to need help."

Stranger I disagree with your comment, you are in denial, by your very diagnosis of Autism it brings restriction socially and in communication, the condition is an impairment.

If not I would love to meet someone who has been diagnosed with Autism and has no self care problems or wider issues ?  

I am high functioning, but I still struggle in a lot of areas by camouflaging by autistic issues, personal hygiene, remembering to do the day to day stuff, going new places,. etc. Stuff that no one sees but those close to me.

The degree to what level the DLA payment is, should not even be under assessment, because Autism is relative. Your pain is not my pain, but pain is still pain. A flickering light or a loud noise or predictable routine life style it is all the same hell.
