I am 64 and was diagnosed with aspergers in 2016.
I guess Im high functioning having been succesful in IT and wronte a few tech books.
My son (29) i beleive is aspergers/autistic and has not left the house in 5 years or more.
He does some online graphics work to earn enough to feed himself but thats about it.
I and he have never before applied for asked for any finanacial help preferring to battle on, which has worked, but now my wifes recruitment business is failing and creating almost no income (35k loss last year) so I though I would ask people here.
I dont feel comformtable asking my son if he wants to be diagnosed so we just drudge on.
