TOTALLY USELESS for most of us here.

Gotta be able to PROVE you have a disability.

I can't even find someone qualified to Dx AS in adults anywhere near me.

Once again, those with the "popular" disabilities get the help.

lots of people here can prove they have a disability, zer0netgain.

Lot of people might not have any actual resume to back them up for some of the jobs. I found three that I am qualified for, but I don't have any desire to live on the East coast.

Oh, I know that, but again, the standard for qualifying for the program is clearly biased in favor of the obviously disabled or those who disabilities are more the "cause celeb" of this day and age...resulting in readily available and affordable diagnosis and treatment.

For those struggling to find/afford AS Dx in their areas, this is yet another "help" that really offers no benefit.

It's akin to being an Irishman in a predominantly Italian community but even though discrimination on the basis of ethnicity is illegal, it's only a black person who is given the protection of the law because all they see is two white men.

I am sorry it doesn't help you, zer0netgain. I put it there for the people it will help.
