I wasn’t able to join the military because of it. I tried calling up my local PD and asking the source itself. Not only did they not know the answer (I’m shocked too trust me), they said I had to pass a medical test AFTER I go through all the prerequisites. So I’m asking here before I dedicate myself.

An undercover black cop got beaten by his fellow white cops…
I also remember a Chinese American cop in NYC who’s gun accidentally discharged and the bullet ricocheted off a wall and hit a suspect and the suspect died, and immediately, the department threw him under the bus to say “oh we hold our officers accountable”, while simultaneously defending white cops who murders with intent. They will use you as a scapegoat. They will blame you for every mistake. I still remember my parents talking about that. Like everyone was talking about it on WeChat.
People that are neurodivergent are gonna get discriminated by them, don’t do it.
they only protect white cops, not POCs. PocS ARE just useful PR propaganda.
let me put it this way.
the police will give known violent rapists and violent racists a job.
as long as you don’t ask questions like, "is that legal?” or “should we be doing that? it feels wrong.” you will undoubtedly have a bright future in law enforcement.
Why would you want to be a police officer?
Most of the job is dealing with distraught people and finding a way to get them to cooperate with you.
How did the military find out about your autism? I could see this being similar to the “don’t ask don’t tell” situation in the past with gay people in the military. It might be disqualifying, but they wouldn’t know unless you told them. The police might have less stringent requirements, but unlikely some random officer/employee that answers the phone would know definitively. If you’re comfortable not disclosing it, you might be able to try.
There are sooooo many neurodivergent service members.
Assuming this is in the USA, I want to note that there are many other available jobs in the protective services occupation, that can be public or private sector, that face the general public (or not), and that don’t have any particular positive or negative connotation attached to the job, even after hours.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has a fantastic reference for available occupations:
What Autism>??? SHHHHH
As long as your IQ is still low enough to be a good

As much as I abhor Reddit, they have a lot more active communities for military related questions. I expect they’ll same is true for police. I think you’ll have better results asking around over there.
If you really want to go military, “there’s a waiver for everything” is a common saying (source: I did a stint in the Navy), so you can probably find a doctor who’s willing to write a memo telling them your fit for service. I expect the police will will have similar policies.
If this has rekindled your hope for military, feel free to DM me. Lol, I’ve got lots of thoughts and can point you in directions on that end (not so much the police stuff) and don’t want to wall of text too hard.
Just don’t be a cop. Easy. ACAB ✊
Don’t become a cop.
Don’t join the army and don’t be a cop, especially not in 2025. Odds are you’ll be sent to beat up protesters.
And being someone who likes following all the rules as a cop in the US will just set you up to get wrecked by all sides, fellow cops (because you won’t let it slide), your bosses (because you cause trouble they don’t even want to know about) AND the general public (because your cop buddies behave like they do and you are on their team)
I would even say it will probably reduce the life expectancy of the person because of the probability of an “accident”
In my country: No.
Anyone can be police in the US
Bonus points if you score low on an IQ test
That’s not bonus points, they’re allowed to discriminate against the intelligent in hiring
