All I know is what my lawyer AND the judge at my hearing told me. "You can't qualify with ASD." So, if you do, great. I'm just telling you to be prepared that there's a possibility you won't.


It strikes me as bizarre that a condition that leads to something like a 90% unemployment rate can't qualify someone for SSI or SSDI. Anyway, per the law, you can, and it is entirely possible your judge was an ignorant arse and your lawyer knew you couldn't get very far with him.
