I am autistic and I am trying to get SSI and like the psychologist dont seem to see that Im autistic!?

A GP is not qualified to diagnose Asperger's. It doesn't matter how long you have known this doctor. You need to see a psychiatrist and/or a neurologist for an "official" dx. The SSA is skeptical when it comes to ASD's these days because there are LOTS of people with the dx who aren't really all that disabled. SSI is for people with severe disabilities. You are obviously very high functioning. I doubt you will ever qualify.

Appeal the decision. Most people that I know get denied the first time. Also if you have any specialist doctors put them on the list to refer to. Like a neurologist, developmental ect. Most people by the time they've gotten to adulthood, if they need support, they would have needed it along the way. Like me, I'm autistic but would never qualify for SSI. I needed little help through school, I'm educated, drive, don't have anxiety. Now I have a son who has problems and is dx PDD.NOS. He sees a neurologist, developmental pediatrician, therapist, psychiatrist, takes medications, has a behavior plan in school, an IEP, has a low IQ (because he has a WISC-IV score below 70 qualifying was automatic), can't ride a bike has 1/2 dozen diagnoses, he is a good candidate for SSI and was approved within 30days of applying. His money has been used for social skills training classes 1x/wk which eats up half his money for the month, and he has gotten a special needs adult trike, and irlen lenses since he was approved. He has a Y membership and has taken karate to help his kinesthetic awareness, and swimming for the sensory experiences. He would like a laptop for keyboarding schoolwork since his dysgraphia is so bad that he cannot write, at all, he is 10. His handwriting is the equivalent of a 4 yr old. Big uneven non spaced pre-k printing. And that is with every low tech writing stuff on the market, a slant board, pencil grips, weights, special needs scissors, highlighted paper, raised line paper, graph paper for math etc. All of these things he has gotten with his money. He also went to special needs autistic day camp this summer for 2 wks. I'd like to look into lindamood bell center, tomatis training, hippotherapy, but its just too expensive. Still I'm grateful for the help he is able to get because of ssi. Considering how severe the autistic spectrum can be, I wouldn't call him severe. He talks, he reads, he interacts, he's pottytrained. Compared to neurotypicals, I'd call him severe. Mentally although he's chronilogically almost 11, he's probably more like a naive 7 yr old. He's not going to magically catch up. His stopping point hopefully will be at least the mentality of a 12 yr old. Unless he has a dramatic transformation, he will not ever drive, live independently ect. I can't see him not needing supervision. For short periods of time, yes I can see that, but not at all, idk, he'd have to make a huge jump which although possible, probably not very realistic. Ex. Recently I asked him what would you do if you got home from school and I wasn't home yet? He said he would try the garage door opener. (I'm thinking YES). But that is the script what we always do. So I press further, what if the garage door opener didn't work? He said he'd cry, kick the door in, then throw a rock through the window and crawl through. Well what if its raining, and you can't break a window? He didn't know. I said Shane, you could sit in the car, wait on the porch, go to the neighbors and call me on the phone. Literally any problem that comes up, unless its part of the routine he has no idea how to handle or what to do, like even a 6 yr old would have a better plan and that is what is scary. Be yourself and explain your deficits.
