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.

    Yeah, I've been told this before. They hate admitting that they're wrong, especially to mere commoners. They were saying maybe I didn't have it though so maybe that'll help my case. I'll just kick up a stink and demand second opinions until I get my way, lol, it usually works.

    possibly, if you can prove they made a mistake... could be harder getting undiagnosed than diagnosed as i doubt they want to admit mistakes right? once they diagnose you theyd probably not want you refuting it as they are the doctor and know better in their eyes. doctors dont always listen, you need a really good one that is open.... or perhaps a private one... but a NHS one? ... nah they will be like a closed book, a brick wall, and they wont wanna spend any more time on the issue and will brush you off. unless as i said its a decent doctor, which is quite rare in the NHS. and ofcourse theres the problem that if they undiagnose it they will instead shift the diagnosis to something else, like bipolar or ADHD or something (and boy oh boy do they LOOOVE handing out the ADHD label to absolutely everyone on the planet)
