Autism is a spectrum disorder. A few people on the extreme end of the autism scale qualify for SSDI or other governmental programs. The great majority of children or adults with autism spectrum disorder do not receive any support.

In order to receive social security disability payments one has to have contributed to the social security system either by their own income or through the income of a spouse. The disability has to prevent them from working in order to qualify. A child is not expected to be working and therefore would not get disability benefits from simply being learning disabled. Once an adult that child may qualify for supplemental income if the learning disabilities continue to prevent employment.
