hey so I'm new to the website and i don't understand how the forum works from a technical perspective(as in,i don't know the layout enough to be able to navigate properly yet),so I'm posting here.
so here's my current situation.
at the beginning of the month of July i sent an email to the reserve recruitment center in timmins Ontario,I'm going to the fitness test on the 31st (this Tuesday) and i had questions about the medical exam.
so here's the thing,i was diagnosed with Asperger's when i was 14,adhd when i was 5,tourrets when i was 4 and ocd when i was 7,I've outgrown my tourrets enough for it to be minor vocal tics(repeating a word or two in a phrase from time to time),gained complete control over my ocd(i obsess very rarely on things now),minimized the effects of ADHD(i have alot of energy but i know how to control it and my attention is really good)and as for my Asperger's,I've "outgrowed" it alot,i can handle stressfull situations better than most people i know,i can handle high levels of variable stress decently,i don't ask for the why behind the what,i ask for the what and don't care about the why and do as I'm told(in my honest opinion,orders come before personal opinions,curiosity and beliefs)i have a good coordination in time and space as well as body coordination(which not many Asperger's have the possibility of developping),the only thing is that my social skills aren't that good compared to someone normal,i still have good social skills and its easy for me to talk to people,its just stuff like conversation starters that i don't really master all that well even if i manage to start up conversations( i was bullied most of my childhood which made me recluse myself from the others,which means i didn't get enough time to develop that yet,but I'm getting there since I'm pretty sociable and i practice alot.
other than that I'm in good health and in good physical condition,i got an eye exam around a month and a half ago and it wasn't the perfect eyesight,but it was still a decent result( i got most right,i could distinguish the letters effectively until i got to the 8th out of 11th row of letters(i still managed to read them,i just had issues,but the smallest text(10 and 11)looked like nordic literature,the 9th row was distinguishable from the smaller letters,i could see they were letters,but not which ones except two or three which were L's and P's (this was on the snellen chart)
so my question is,would the medical officer see that as an issue worthy of rejecting my application or would there be a chance that i could be accepted?
oh,and I'm pretty motivated to enlist since I've always wanted to be in the military,its basically what i always wanted,i know its exceedingly hard on one's mind and body,but i really want to see how far i can go so i can feel accomplished,even if i don't make it through basic training,it would still be an accomplishment to get the chance to try even if i don't succeed.
also,if anyone is willing to explain how the website works id be grateful for the help seeing as i never used any type or form of forum.
