Disqualified Questions
So I have a question, either for current Air Force Recruiters, past Recruiters, or Applicants who have been accepted with this condition,
I was disqualified from the Air Force because I have Asperger's Syndrome, which was never diagnosed from a psychiatrist/psychologist office, just diagnosed from a school. I already went through MEPS and my disqualifying condition was because of my learning disorder. I have discussed it with my Recruiter and he has told me that he knows of people that have gotten in wirh learning disabilities similar to mine with waivers, but mine is a different case. I was told that my waiver process is going to go before a board of people instead of the CMO, which I would like some clarity on this.
Another thing to add to this, I am currently serving as a Police Officer in a small city for about 7 months and I worked at another job where I was a shift leader at O'Reilly Auto Parts for over a year. I socialize normally and don't get pressured by other people easily. I also scored an 82 on my AFQT with 90's in my M and E fields and 80's in my A and G fields. I have also made the deans list at a couple different colleges and have over 60 college hours with a plan to go in as an A1C and do a 6 year contract (assuming I can get in). Also I have had several people sign letters (of recommendation essentially) for me so that it shows documentation I never needed accomodations for work or for my time in school. I made good (not great) grades in High School. Finally I have had some troubles at work that I'm fairly positive that everyone makes sometimes. What I want to know mostly is if this would even factor into my acceptance or if just having Aspergers won't get me a waiver at all.
I'm just concerned that my waiver will get denied and I want some advice from people who have gotten in with a similar disability as mine or from a Recruiter that has helped someone with a similar disability as mine and what happened with their career. Thanks in advance!
