Hello there @bruno05 and welcome, thanks for reaching out, you're not alone in feeling dissatisfied, and I'm sorry this is the outcome of your reconsideration. 

Just so that I understand fully, was this for a PIP application, or something else?

Welcome to the community I'm autistic so I can relate to your son.

It's not unusual for the MR decision not to change. You don't mention which benefit this is for, is it PIP or DLA. Either way, you can now request the Tribunal. https://www.gov.uk/appeal-benefit-decision/submit-appeal
