Hello, Ijoined a while ago but totally forgot about it :oops: anyway I'm Mike i'm 22 and engaged from Sheffield England.
LOVE football/soccer and support Sheffield Wednesday and Everton.

I was going to join the army but i'm now not allowed due to having Aspergers so i've started working at a company which fits new kitchens and stuff like that.

Anywho ask anything you like and follow me on twitter if you like :)

I've got one.

Why is Asperger's blocking your way to joining the army? That's totally (bleep)ed!

Because you can't join if you've got a disability or something like that BUT the funny thing is i got diagnosed when i was 18 but when i was 17 i went and did everything and applied and they said i had passed everything apart from my upperbody strength (my weight! i was 5 pounds too light). so what pees me off is what is the difference between how i was when i didn't get diagnosed and when i did!

I understand it is frustrating, I almost got to be a navy nuke but I did not get a waiver that the recruiters promised me I would get.
