My 14 year old son- Ian has Autism- needing help with getting disability benefits

Hello , My son is 3 and was diagnosed with level 2 ASD in July 2017 I applied in August 2017 and turned in all document from the child's psychiatric and from his IEP meeting from school , also all therapys he was taking before diagnosis from the inland regional center.Its being reviewed at the moment.He is in preschool in a special needs class. How long do you possibly think it will take before if or when will be approved?

My son was diagnosed with Autism and has delays. I am recently separated from my husband and I work full time. Why do I keep getting denied. I spend most of my check on housing, transportation as well as take care of my son. Please advice.

My son is 10 years old and has been diagnosed with autism since age 3. He is in special education program fifth grade. Would he qualify for government benefit.

My daughter has BPD,epilepsy,anxiety,MDD,hashimotose disease.She is unable to keep any job.I am disabled.She is 20.If she is accepted for disability when does it go back to?She has been this way since she was 14.

My 3 yr old son was diagnosed with autism by an IEP.. can we qualify for ssi?? How long would it take for him to get approved

My adult 35 yr old son has been disabled since birth and was in special needs classrooms his entire school yrs. He was diagnosed with autism and he also has epilepsy that is controlled with medication along with mild cerebral palsy that effects his balance and fine and gross motor skills. my husband and I have guardianship over him and he lives with us. He has been receiving SSI Supplemental since he was 18 yrs old. Now all of a sudden they are doing disability redetermination on him and I have to take him to one of their doctors next week for evaluation. He is considered high functioning but due to behaviors such as rocking, pacing, self abuse when upset and inappropriate laughing plus self stimulating behaviors he can not work in a regular job. He was actually fired from a job called an On clave job where it's through a community based program for mentally challenged adults with a job coach on site overseeing their work and keeping an eye on them... He threw one of his autistic fits over something and the manager of the restaurant witnessed it and said he was a threat. Which he is not.. He only hits himself when upset. Should I be worried about them cancelling benefits? I don't see how a doctor seeing him one short time can properly diagnose him. I mean he will see the behaviors because they are always present but this is really stressing me out... I don't want to have to hire a lawyer to fight... I'm so tired of this... It's stressful enough for parents of disabled kids but when the system fails us it's even worse... Thank you for any advice you can give.

My grandson, 3 years old has shown signs of autism since before his 2nd birthday. We started taking him to Stepping Stones once a week and even though they dont actually diagnose children, they give their proffesonal opinion. And that is my grandson is on the autism spectram. My question is where do i take him for the diagnosis. And how do I go about getting him a check started?
