Asperger Syndrome and Careers ??

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

    Hi,

    Having AS doesn't automatically preclude anyone from joining the police, however you would have to pass the assessment centre and training, the same as for any NT applicant. Check out our FAQ www.npaa.org.uk/faq

    The best thing is to discuss it with the recruitment dept of the Force you are looking to join - they can also advise on reasonable adjustments.
