As someone with high-functioning autism, is it possible to join the Army Reserves?

Cameron H. asked a question to Claire W.

Hello, I was a cadet for 5 years (13 to 18) and absolutely loved it, I tried to join the army (full time) upon turning 18, however was unsuccessful. I would like to know if there is a possibility I would be able to join the reserves despite my H.F autism? Thank you for your time.

    Hello, thank you for your question.

    I'm sorry to hear your application for the Regular Army was unsuccessful. Unfortunately I can't comment on anything medical, so my best advice would be to put in a Reserves application - a medical professional will need to review your medical history and will make an outcome based on that.

    Wishing you good luck 😀
