Ugh. In another annoying situation. I want to join the British Army and commit to a non-combative role, but I'm quite afraid of what is going to happen at the medical records stage. Officially, I don't have ASD on my records. I actually just finished the waiting list and can book an appointment. However, I don't want to add anything that is a disadvantage so I'm undecided on whether I'll bother with it. Only thing that is on there is my one-time period of anxiety/social anxiety and my list of traits on why I suspected I have autism.
Why on God's earth is it just so damn difficult to do anything nowadays? I want a job - nope, poor employment history and job market. So I considered the army as an alternative - nope, a momentary period of anxiety could be what denies me a career and independence. What a joke! What is someone meant to do when they are given no opportunities? I hope I'm overreacting and they accept, but I don't think I am.
I think I could make a good argument in an appeal. Any past traits related to anxiety has been remedied. I was very responsive, competent and had a good conversation with the recruiters, if that means anything. I've no history of self-harming or suicide attempts. If the condition is that I cannot have anything that affects everyday life, then I should be accepted as I fulfil it. If this doesn't work out, I'm going to be so disappointed and upset. I wouldn't know what else to do or where else to look.
Sorry for the venting.
