How do I get undiagnosed with Asperger's?

NAS78513

Hi, I'm a 24 YO man. I was diagnosed as a child and would like to get undiagnosed for a couple of reasons, firstly job prospects (I've always wanted to join the Army, which you can't do if you've got Asperger's, but you can if you can get yourself undiagnosed). Also, and I don't want to offend anyone, but I don't want the stigma of having it, I'd rather officially not have it, even if I do really, which I'm not sure about. They were saying at one point that I might not have it. Again, not trying to offend anyone, but I'm not one of these people who is proud of it, I respect other people's opinions, but to be honest I personally find having it embarrassing, even though I don't tell people, and I'd like to be "normal", at least officially. Anyway, how would I go about doing this, and how easy/difficult would it be? Thanks in advance.

  • dude, if you don’t want to be autistic. Just stop 

    so youre 24 and no longer want to be known as autistic, so in reality,. You get a new job and you act autistic.. people will brand you something else.. you can’t exactly start saying I used to be autistic. The army will assess you.

    I don't act autistic, lol. I've only got a very mild case and it's only got better since I got older, it really doesn't affect me at all. I seem totally normal, people would be shocked if I told them. If I've even got it that is, like I say, they were pretty convinced I didn't have it at one stage. I've done a lot of research myself and I don't think I've got it. They do make mistakes.
