PIP appeal for Asperger's and IBS

Hello. I'm new to this group so hopefully some of you lovely people can help. I realise that this has been discussed many times but just want a little help. My son is diagnosed Asperger's and he also has quite a debilitating gastro problem which prevents him from leaving the house. He was awarded PIP high rate care low rate mobility but on his recent review he scored zero point. Mandatory reconsideration the same so we're no going down the appeal route. I've written quite an extensive response to the healthcare professionals report as it did not at all reflect what was said during the telephone assessment (I was present). My son struggles with communication but because he can talk and read, he scored nothing. Is anyone aware of what examples we can use. I've already advised he has mentors and specialist study skills mentors etc. He is intelligent and this has also been held against him. He got GCSEs and a btec but without his EHCP and full time support at school and at college he wouldn't have been and to progress as well as he did.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, does anyone know what the hearing is like as my son is anxious about attending. Thank you in advance and sorry it's a bit long ?
