I myself am looking for a job to where I can gain experience as an accounting student while continuing to pursue my education and have three years left to go at University. I do not recommend SSI as it does not help a person to live independently and does not cover enough for today's cost of living expenses. SSDI is a better program as it allows you to have as much income as you want. I understand that a lot of businesses nowadays are now going into a transition to a gig economy to where the internet is now more important to be able to do jobs nowadays and that there is innovation now to where a person can turn a passion into a business. Thanks.

Sounds like your son needs help with transitioning from being a child to being an adult. Does he have a support system in place? Is he attending counseling for aspies? He also needs help addressing his Adl's (activities of daily living) such as what is presentable dress. Does he do his own laundry,clean his room go grocery shopping? I recommend both you and he read Developing College Skills in Students with Autism and Asperger's Syndrome by Sarita Freedman. He needs to accept that he is no longer a child but an adult.That adults don't spend all their time playing, and that he must be productive and set priorities. Are you enabling his childlike behavior? First a support system must be set up- counseling preferably with a group his age that's also transitioning. Next a social group for fun, and relationship building. A set list of things to do on a daily basis (chores and self care). Since he loves the computer or electronics maybe he should pick up a certificate in say Microsoft Office or Web Development (a plus on his resume and marketable job skills). SSI does accept autism as a disability- but you must have all evaluations, an I.E.P., and it is a process.Many people get denied their first time. But reapply or better yet if they deny appeal the decision and ask for a hearing.If you still get denied try again-don't give up. SSDI is a program you can qualify for IF you have earned enough work credits. Believe me I know - I'm a mom of an 18year old aspie girl.
