Addressing the motivations of him directly when he makes a choice to not be open about them would be bad form.
But you just did that. If you don't want to discuss his motivations, fine. But in that case you shouldn't contradict my hypothesis.
But in general people are seldom completly open when they speak about personal issues on the internet.
Agree. Did I suggest otherwise?
I also do have a mental model of him and in general of why people want to go to the armed forces.
Well you also need to have a mental model of why people say they want to go into the armed forces. But you don't want to discuss it -- fine. My point stands.
Anyway, if you want to engage with me you will need to be clear about your position. If you play "hide the ball" again I'm going to close things out pretty quickly this time.
So I've been rejected for conscription in the IDF because the psychiatrist thinks the Asperger's diagnosis I received as a child means that there is something wrong with me. Never mind that I've been examined very recently and been recommended for enlistment, he thinks that even though I probably don't have Asperger's, there must be something wrong with me because in the past I've had trouble socially. Of course I have no such problems now, but it's not as if he's going to risk his job in the face of anything less than perfection.
(This, btw, is what I meant when I said there was no such thing as a competent mental health professional- the entire system works against evidence-based methods.)
There has to be something wrong with this, some way that I can appeal. I have no idea of the Israeli legal process and I'm not sure if I could just write a letter to someone, or if I might need a lawyer. I can definitely prove that there is nothing psychologically wrong with me. I just have no idea where to turn, no idea how to do anything, and have no allies whatsoever. I feel like my life is collapsing, and I do have very good reasons personally for wanting to join the army. It's not just something I felt like doing.
This community obviously has better things to do than this sort of thing. But I feel like I'm going to explode if I can't talk to anyone, or get some idea of what I can do. I feel almost as if I'm becoming mentally ill.
