  • ADHD - yes deffinately ..... Aspergers - yes deffinatley

    I have friends that both have DLA paid for children with these.

    Dyslexia im not so sure , ive not heard of anyone recieving it for dyslexia but have heard lots saying they were turned down.

    My son is in reciept of DLA for Verbal Dyspraxia and Hyperactivity / possible ADHD (assesment for ADHD being done this month) he also has many other "quirks" ..... what i will say is get help with the DLA forms however confident u are from someone experienced as they are not easy
