Could the military help people with Autism?

Something i have always wondered as an autistic person myself is what the effects of military training and discipline has on people with Autism. seeing that the military is all about order,structure and learning you the importance of working in a team it surely can help autistic people develop skills they can use to significantly be better at structuring and giving order to their own personal lives. and thus improve life quality.

I am not advocating for anyone to join the military. i am just curious how people here think if the military could be of any use in helping some people with autism get their life in order.

  • I was told my my AS specialist nurse that the only job I would not be able to do being on the spectrum is to be in the military.

    saying that, my husbands sister was a Sargent in the army and I am 100% she is ASD too.

    My friends brother is also high up in the army. I am also quite sure he is
