I actually checked on this a few years ago, when my son was old enough to start thinking about enlistment. He has an autism spectrum disorder and, as it turns out, that did not render him ineligible. The medications for his condition, however, made him ineligible.
Unfortunately not. Not if you are an American citizen or legally-resident alien.
The United States Marine Corps adheres to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and as such, it expressly disqualifies persons with any mental-health conditions that may be considered adverse from joining its ranks under any conditions.
It may be possible to join the US Army with the mild form of autism called Asperger's Syndrome.I am currently a senior LET 4 SGT going to be a SFC in the Army Jrotc program at my high school. I help out with the Let 1's. I want to know if I am just wasting my time getting ready for the military because this is what I've been doing. Or if I should just go ahead and take another path. My best friend and I plan on enlisting when he gets out of high school. I plan on going into infantry.
No. An individual with Asperger's Syndrome will not be accepted into the American military. Asperger's is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and motor skills issues, which are important in the military. The military has physical, mental, and education standards that must be met, and someone with Aspergers is typically unable to meet them.
I wouldn't recommend it, since people with Asperger's Syndrome don't function well under extreme pressure.
No
There is not a minimum number of children someone must have in order to join the military.
Yes.
In order to enter the police force, a person must pass both psychological and physical reviews. I would not say it could never be done, but it would not be likely. Most people with Aspergers Syndrome tend to have some issues with speech and social interaction. These would both count against a possible officer candidate.
An Autistic person can join the military just like a person of any other neurology.Functioning labels such as 'high functioning' are offensive and prejudice against Autistic people, they also say absolutely nothing at all about the individuals symptoms or severity of their symptoms. Please do not use functioning labels, if you don't understand the reason please educate yourself.

There is no reason why they can't join the military
