You can also keep a PIP diary for evidence. If you have diagnoses for autism, IBS, anxiety and depression that's already a good amount of evidence. Any correspondence with work/college if relevant about how these have affected you would help; and you…
I have been autistic my entire life with moderate level 2. It sure is only a disability. I cannot see any benefits from it. Only thing my memory remembers is car plates, where things are in the store. All the noise makes my sensory system run full every…
Max has left the platform (them/they) said:Thank you for the info. I didn't know they'd worked out what percentage we process in comparison with NT's. Facts make me feel better. :)
