My fellow neets,
I live in the UK, and I have been professionally diagnosed with Autism in Sweden. I want to ask how many of you here get autism bucks, and most importantly, HOW?

Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
145 a week
How do I apply?
Got told I'm almost autistic by the doctor, how do I act autistic enough for bennies?
Why were you diagnosed in Sweden if you live in the uk?
I was born in Sweden but I moved to the UK.
I get ESA and PIP, and it's about 900 a month in total, give or take, excluding bonuses. I am genuinely incapable of going outside without taking muscle relaxers for the uncontrollable panic, and therefore cannot work a normal job. If you're not this bad, you won't get this much.
Look up the Disability Rights Handbook. This is what the people who are paid to help use, because the form is deliberately open ended and unclear on the assessment criteria. In my case, I haven't needed to use it myself because I fit the criteria without having to rehearse anything. I just honestly wrote about my mobility issues and inability to do basic tasks without being prompted.
900 ain't much to live on user if you don't step outside do you order all your food?
We can have food delivered today. It's pretty cool. Not that expensive, either, given that you live in or near a city.
You'd be surprised how little you can live on when you autistically work it out
>We
do you live with family?
seems comfy. how long did you live like this for?
I spent all my money for the past month ordering food because i didn't want to step outside. I also only bought from the nearest convenience store at 1:30am just as they were about to close at 2am, just so I wouldn't run into people and the clerks were tired af at that time so they would try to strike a conversation.
>wouldn't try to strike a conversation.
>ordering take-away regularly
Start buying Ryvita, cheese, tea, broccoli and chicken, save up for a halogen oven and learn how to fast
It took me a long time to overcome my 'tism and cook two different things at the same time, but it was worth it
how the fuck do you survive on that? i spend more than that on camwhores in a week
I think he means getting tesco to deliver shopping user, not everyone immediately thinks of greasy bags of onion bhajis when they hear of food delivery you big fatty.
first time i heard of a halogen oven.
now i can save a ton thanks user.
PIP and ESA for OCD. 240/month for PIP and 250/2 weeks for ESA.
Also, even though I get the group therapy rate for ESA I don't have to go as it wouldn't help.
Ah, I meant "we" as in humanity. Not "we" as in "my family and I".
I like you user.

Why am I paying for people who are too unfit to walk out their front door?
Has dysgenics gone too far?
Society stopped caring about socializing them and realizing their potential
Thats why they leech off all our tax money right? Because we stopped caring?
I think society cares too much
I think it's cause there is a support network in place that there is a lot "leeching" off of it.
But I'm just an autist on the net what do I know
Yes exactly. There's no community support in place that enables autists to integrate into social lives and employment, because society in general is atomized. So autists are stuck on autismbux.
Autismbux is not a life of luxury.
You're right.
The only reason leeching is this widespread is because there is the possibility to do it. By giving people the ability to just cash in checks every month instead of working, society takes away the incentive for people to actually work.
What's the point of working if you can have the rewards of working served to you for free?
