It seems to be increasingly more difficult for people who have a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome who appear on the surface to be coping, but basically for general living skills, health and emotional stress constantly living in a state of high anxiety, not wanting to go out due to overstimulation of the senses by the environment. However, it would appear that the DLA adjudicators do not take into account that a person may be able to walk, but unable to proceed due to overwhelming feelings that inhibit progress, resulting in avoidance of going out. How is one supposed to fill in the form that is geared only for physical disabilities? any suggestions would be gratefully received
