[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 470025, member: 1514"] I dont know about Aspergers. I know my son is ADHD but he quit medications the summer before entering HS so he could enter the Marines. He had been in contact with recruiters since he was in middle school. He did wonderful in there and was honorably discharged and is now working for the sheriff's dept in VA. I have a personal theory and not all will agree with me but I think that all young adults should serve in the military in some capacity for 2 years after they leave HS. Now I dont mean all go fight in a war and of course there are some who are so disabled it isnt possible like people who are paraplegic. But kids who can even file papers or work in a kitchen or do construction or learn to drive a car or other things like that, even do computer work. Easy stuff, greet people at a gate by pointing out which way to go. I think most kids could do something. Not everything has to be related to fighting. But after that two years, the government would pay for their college. A 4 year college degree. [/QUOTE]
