Claiming ESA and PIP diagnosed with Aspergers

Has anyone diganosed with Autism or Aspergers been sucessful in their claim with ESA or PIP? I claimed PIP but I wasn't sucessful I am going through the appeal process. 

I have since found too, I could quite possibly be entiled to ESA as how much my aspergers impacts my life in so many ways going back as far as pre-school. 

Does anyone have any experiences advice or pointers that they could give me. I have read online there is a certain group you have to go to if you claim ESA can the DWP do that with someone with aspergers Syndrome is claiming? As part of their disablity is socializing, change, things out of the blue and coping with life outside of the house. 

Thank you.

    Am starting the process you guys have described (ESA) and what you mention about honesty and overanalysing have already started, which isn't where I'm looking to be personally as away from all this am looking to learn about myself, something Time and space have given me. Have almost read too much as good examples, bad examples, technicalities, processes, Work group situations have all been taken in with no filter of where I'm at right now or what relates. This is how it was in situations before my diagnosis and leaving a job situation, so can recognise but it's not where I'm looking to be. It's almost like proving you are you which is crazy.
