The Challenge

The Legal Challenge

Earlier in the process, the true nature of the condition was not fully understood. Without proper testing, Social Security failed to recognize how these limitations impacted the ability to function in a work environment.

Our Approach

How We Helped

We uncovered the missing piece of the case through comprehensive autism testing: —Confirmed severe deficits in social interaction and adaptive functioning.
—Demonstrated marked limitations in adapting and managing oneself, a critical legal standard.
And we established inability to function in a workplace:
—No interaction with coworkers or the public.
—Only limited supervision possible.
—Used vocational evidence to show no jobs exist under these limitations.
