@EUcomicartist in denmark people with autism get rejected too. reason is the sensetivity you mentioned. other reason are at people
with autism have trouble multitasking. autism tend to focus on subject/object at the time. it make them good to focused tasked. but army want people there can multitask, since in a crisis you have to keep your focus on more then one thing.

people with autism are not worse then regular people. our shortcomings and strengths are just allocated different. they maybe not the best candidate for military, but the strengths make them good choices for other jobs.

i can't speak for every one with autism. so this is just my experience living with Asperger's syndrome.

i got rejected by the danish draft system when i mentioned i had asperger's syndrome. which was okay for me since i felt i would be in way anyway.
