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.

My son has a diagnosis of Autism and has just been given a place in the RAF to study as an Aircraft Engineer. He had a medical where Capita asked him questions about how his Autism affected him and his medical records were looked at. They seemed more concerned about any food Intollerance’s.
Hi , did your son receive Disability allowance ? Or continue to receive PIP ? I’m just interested in high functioning autism , and the review of medical notes etc and whether receiving this payment would affect chances of being successful in future . Thanks
If autism affects an individual to the extent that they're entitled to PIP, it seems a safe bet that it would rule them out for anything like this.
