Seeking some experiences or guidance on whether autistic male has to undergo NS at 18 years. Will medical history and interventions along with assessment reports help explain his conditions for considering exemption or is it mandatory to serve. What implications on mental health and any impact on progression of child development due to this?
Appreciate some experiences as it can be helpful

When he call for medical checkup.
Bring along all the medical report, Army will access and define his PES
Exemption is not something you can apply or want. Is what Army define him.
Alterative, you can ask your doc to write a exemption letter. Not sure will it help but at least your doc know your child condition well.
Some far I only know someone exempted from NS due to his epileptic. Very serious type.

An autistic person could be highly functional and practically not any different from typical person, or on the opposite pole, with very sever disabilities. If the later, I doubt he will serve. If highly functional, likely yes. Anything in between, up to the doctors (military?) to determine.

Agree. My friend’s son has autism, but he was deemed high functioning and had to serve just like everyone else. Like every other medical condition, whether or not you will be exempted depends on the severity of the condition and in turn your ability to serve.

Yes.
