Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Hi, just found this group while looking for information about Aspie's in the military. My son who is 19 and recently diagnosed with AS wants to join the Marines. In order to do this he has to lie about having the disorder, lie about having seen a psychiatrist and lie during his 4 years in there and hope they don't find out else he will be brought up on charges for making false statements. He still has trouble with consequences of actions. I know what he went through in school with bullies and his frustration level caused him to behave violently from time to time. He thinks the order and structure of the military would be good for him and sees it as a challenge. I'm freaking out. Has anyone else heard of an AS in the military and how they cope?
