Hi does anyone know if having Aspergers or any ASD will stop you joining the police force or any of the armed forces ???

My son is very keen on one of these careers but i am not sure if this will hold him back

    @Arran...but if your child has undiagnosed ASC and is struggling at school, and has declining mental health, what else are you supposed to do?

    Perhaps that dubious claim that children can outgrow autism can be cited by parents wanting to drop the label post-education.

    Although that would of course bring its own problems, if someone needs reasonable adjustments in the workplace or reason to show the job centre or benefits, they would be stumped.
