hahaha I'm on the spectrum and over 25 so I'm safe.
Ngl autism being non-waivable is pretty bullshit. I've seen dudes who are miles more weird and "unstable" than me get allowed in (one even got discharged since he developed schizophrenia while in) but, nope they never got any sort of official diagnosis of being a sperg when they were in elementary school so they get let in. Oh, but me, who no one would know is a sperg unless I mention it, I'm right out. No waivers for that!
Now, I wouldn't want to be in the military knowing the absolute state of it today, but finding out a childhood diagnosis that had absolutely 0 bearing on my life completely foreclosed any chance of being in still hurts.
That's some bullshit too. My guess is the higher-ups figure you have a greater chance of developing a tumor in the future compared to the average person and wouldn't want the VA to be on the hook for your Medicare.
Maybe there's some truth to that but surely not much more of a chance of that happening than with any other person. Unless they were to, say, stick you near a burn pit or something.
I was precluded from service for similar reasons, something got my corporals attention and off the the shrink I went "something wrong with the way I think" apparently
