As a parent with a now adult that has Aspergers, we did qualify for an extra payment for him. It wasn’t much and the overall figures maybe inflated due to mild autism. Interestingly up until the age of 8 the qualification for a payment aren’t as strenuous as when the child is older. I suspect there is a drop off rate once the children turn eight. Makes for a better headline if they cherry-pick the age group though.
