They're wrong, I still need regular advice and help with things. I have relatives who push me to re-apply for it, but I'm reluctant to since I'll most likely get refused again, and refused at the appeal.
Try local autism/mental health related charities - they're very experienced in dealing with the onerous forms etc. Best of luck!
