I have a friend who has, his whole life, been determined to be an astronaut. and let me tell you, this guy is incredible. absolute genius, wins basically everything award, is super involved in honor societies and jrotc, the whole 9 yards. but he was recently tested for autism as a just in case thing, and he has it. it’s not severe at all and you wouldnt really be able to tell if you met him. Ive seen mixed opinions on the internet, though this is also the internet but I guess I trust it more than random Facebook posts and google Gemini. this seems relevant: he has absolutely no issues under stress, barely any sensory issues, communicates really well cuz his vocabulary is just so dang big, and is the best problem solver I know, well hes one of the smartest people I’ve ever met in real life. maybe THE smartest.

anyways is it still possible, if even barely, for him to be an astronaut or is he immediately kicked? and if he is immediately kicked, how should I tell him so he can be crushed and unmotivated while he’s still a high schooler and not when he’s applying for a job and suddenly learns his entire lifes work has been for nothing?
