I ask this because when I was around 12, I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome.

My Social ability is terrible. I get anxious when speaking to a group of people. I'm trying to find the best way to "fit it" so to speak. But there really isn't anything that I know to teach me or assist me with a situation like that.

I became a Level I firefighter for NJ back in 2014. I have not been in the fire service for the last 7 years. And considering that shit may very well hit the fan in the next couple of months/years, I figured that I would find a way to serve my community.

I will follow orders of any officer in charge of the calls that I will go on.

But to ask the whole community of Poal, it could help me gain some insight to understand the opinions of those who would be a part of the community that I serve.

Thoughts?

Have you ever considered being a man and ignoring your feelings of fear and anxiety. You sound like a 9 year old. Fuck whatever those jew doctors say and quit being a bitch and stop using some bullshit diagnosis as a crutch. I have seen real "autistic" kids and they are just retarded. So if you are so retarded that you can't function then, no you should not be the person responsible for saving someone's life. It just sounds to me like you are a pussy, and in that case you probably shouldn't be firefighter either.
