People with Autism are not allowed in the British Military and it’s about time this rule was changed. If you agree please sign this petition. With enough signatures the government will have to discuss the matter in parliament.

haha
this subject comes up all the time --- i was in some armies with autism and it was great.
I am convinced an autistic unit could be set up that could support the fighting troops and if need be part of fighting units.
the RLC ( drivers ) is an example of where it could start. All soldiers currently have to be capable of combat but i dont see this as a problem. It just takes a new approach to get a valuable contribution from the autistic community.
And become canon fodder, it’s not a computer game !
