I have a very mild form of Autism (no notable difficulty with verbal communication or cognitive skills), I am not interested in becoming an airline pilot right now (although that was my dream job when I was younger), but I was just wondering. Can you become a pilot for a US airline if you have special needs?
Leanne,
The answer to your question varies case by case as everybody’s situation is unique. The best way to find out is to apply for a first class medical certificate from the FAA as only an FAA medical examiner can truly answer your question.
