Social Security Disability (SSD) Benefits for Autism
Is your child living with autism? Are you finding it difficult to make ends meet due to the demands of this disorder? Then you may be able to obtain disability benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA).
As stated by the SSA, autism, or autistic disorder, is characterized by "qualitative deficits in the development of reciprocal social interaction, in the development of verbal and nonverbal communication skills, and in imaginative activity." These qualitative deficits must be documented thoroughly to prove eligibility for disability benefits. In addition to these deficits, documentation must also be provided that proves the individual is also markedly restricted in his or her repertoire of activities and interests.
If you are able to prove the above requirements, then your child will be deemed unable to perform certain functions or a substantial gainful activity. Once the SSA makes this determination, you cannot be denied Social Security Disability Insurance benefits. However, the SSA looks for any and all reasons to deny claims for benefits.
