Summary
A lot of people are scared to get a diagnosis for their kid because they see it as a label and a barrier.
In 2022, AS1 Alex Anderson, a Logistics Supplier, received a Pride of Britain award. Alex was one of the first people with Aspergers Syndrome to join the Royal Air Force. After an initial rejection, changes to the entry rules allowed Alex to pursue his dream of joining the RAF. He has since gone on to inspire young people, particularly neurodiverse people to consider a career in the military.
