I talked to a couple LEOs; someone from Navy CID said it was a complete non-issue, a Corrections Dept. officer said that if it didn't affect me and I had paperwork to prove it, it was a complete non-issue, and finally a retired Sheriff's Dept. officer said it didn't matter.

I wouldn't want to involve my school. They don't know and that's the way I want to keep it.

The reason I'm asking is that I was diagnosed with HFA when I was 6 years old. Turns out it was a crappy home environment that was the real culprit since the symptoms had vanished by my 10th Bday and the diagnosis of autism/aspergers was removed a few weeks ago. The thing is, I want to work in law e...

That's funny as I only qualified in the category of specialized interest and that was only when I was very young. I've always been into rough sports (basketball, football, wrestling, boxing, baseball, not low stress sports such as cross country, etc) After reading several comments, I spoke with my m...

Like I said before, I doubt I've developed "coping" mechanisms as I enjoy social encounters and seek them out. Also, I heard aspies can't develop musclular tone and I'm a guy who's looking at a partial football scholarship to a divsion 1 school. Is there any way I can get a diagnosis that ceased to ...

The pysychiatrist who diagnosed me was a complete hack and to answer several comments, I'm very social and outgoing.

I've never told this to anyone before in my life. When I was 6 years old, I was diagnosed as having High Functioning Autism by a psychiatrist. At this time I lived with both of my parents in a hellhole of a neighborhood and my father was severely abusing my mother. My symptoms were social naivete (a...
