i have mild aspergers. i do receive DLA but this is because i am blind, i have never mentioned the aspergers on any claim forms. i am perceived as 'odd' by people that know me, but am still able to function in the 'normal' world

I tend to list all my health conditions on my forms & yes we can function but we do tend to struggle more when things don't go to plan (or at least I do).

I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.
