Is there any downfalls for applying for Disability checks? If approved? Is it permanent like in the record database so If I want a job in the future and it shows that I have AS then they wont hire me?

Being on the spectrum does not disqualify someone from workng for hire, and neither does having received "welfare" in the past ...

... yet there is where *some* potential employers might be hesistant about hiring people with large gaps or "holes" in their work histories.

But no, there is no "database" (at least not yet) where an employer can look at medical records and so on.

The odds of being in a long term relationship will decrease- even if those odds are already dismal as it is.
