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.

I have to wonder. Hypothetically. What if they formed entire military units composed of autistic people. They say autistic people comunicate far better with each other than with NTs. If comunication is the big issue I wonder how a whole unit of autistic people might actually function working together in a war zone.
Peter, does not this forum reveal exactly how well us Autists work together?
not really. No one here really has a commone goal, that they have to work on day after day like it or not.
The best way to avoid a war is to be ready to fight it. It's sad but true but bloody noses are the only languages that get through to bullies. It's why we should be whiping our military into shape. If nothing else because if we can make enough to keep ukrain suplied with weapons they may give the bloody nose for us. Right now armed forces staffing is not our big issue, its low production. The factory is where we should be 'conscripting' people if anywhere.
The only way we'd go to war is if rusia invaded a nato member. Say poland. And the sight of tanks rolling into another country is likely to change peoples minds about the avoidability of war and push a recruting drive.
