Are the any legal restrictions for autistic people, other than not being able to join the army?

If your autism affects your ability to drive safely you are supposed to inform the DVLA.     Other than that, if you're not a danger to yourself, I'm not aware for any restrictions or limitations other than the ones you place on yourself.

Thank you. 

There are sometimes issues in the workplace if you're 'out' - some people can decide to treat you differently - that can be awkward to deal with.

That's strange how they wanted to know things like that. 

Asking about how people got on in life and with teachers at school involves finding out about how much the candidate respects and complies with authority ~ which is a fundamental requirement in the military.

dont tell them your diagnosis.... from what i gather the only way for autistic person to get in the army is to actually not tell them and try pass off as normal and undetected. if you tell they can legally reject you, they have a exception to be allowed to discriminate on disabilities or mental health issues. the only way around that is to simply not tell them.... although if you got diagnosed officially then it will probs be on your health record and thus they may see it... but perhaps by the stage of health checks maybe they will give you a go given the health checks i think are passed the interview stage and so on. its the interview stage they rejected me at. not even a proper interview more like a prying into your life and even asking how you got on with teachers in high school which is rather unfair as the teachers in my high school didnt even try to teach and had no professionalism at all so ofcourse i didnt get along with them lol
