I am the veteran myself. Adding to my previous comment, I can’t be the only vet in the VHA that’s been through all of this: asking for help and told that we’re making it up. They act on the assumption that recruiters are doing their due diligence and assessing potential recruits for autism, as if recruiters even have the capacity to do that. It’s so messed up. Imagine how many vets are out there wondering what’s wrong with them because mental health services aren’t working, when in reality, they’re just not receiving proper care.
It would probably be worth filing a complaint then. Post service medical care really shouldn’t be considering reenlistment cabability when treating people. The fact that they have a policy to that affect is a problem. Filing a complaint probably won’t fix it, but it’ll definitely help get the vha moving in a better direction.
Thank you! I’m going to try my best to word it as nice as possible. I’m trying to avoid seeming like I’m pissed off, even though I am. Going to state just the facts 👌
No need to apologize!
