No lies
The recruiter lied. We believe you. But they lied to you.
i'm certain the military has its share of undiagnosed autists, tho
Shit tons. Mostly in the nerdier jobs.
There are medical waivers that are almost always granted if you're willing and able to ask in the first place.
Wish I knew that back then. Can't sign up for the military now. Trans, and now I have a medical history of suicidal ideation.
I hate it break this to you but joining the military wouldn't have helped you not want to kill yourself.
