It was never, NEVER brought up that we could get a ‘crazy check’ for our son. We’ve spent thousands on therapy and specialty diet foods for him. My husband and I went broke paying for our son’s disabilities and working him out of them.

You are obviously good and honest people but there are plenty of people abusing the autism classification trying to get SSI checks for their child. This cannot be denied. In fact I have a relative who is in the biz so to speak. A child psychiatrist in the autism field. Parents ask him all the time to help out with SS disability applications
