It’s sounding rather as if he made the right decision.
ETA: And even if he didn’t, that you’re desperate to join up for some mysterious reason is a giant red flag, even if there’s an innocent explanation he doesn’t know.
Clearly you are not telling us something. Lots of 18yo Israelis are “desperate to join” the IDF for one reason or another, no way this should be a reason for rejecting them.

I would think that even if you aren’t fit to be a commando or a fighter pilot, they would find something constructive for you to do.
How do you know how something comes off to someone well trained in reading people?
The person you are speaking with could be simply be more skillful than you are giving them credit for.
Being fluent in language is not the only thing that matters. I know someone with diagnosed autism whom I suspected having autism based on watching his body language for 10 minutes when I first meet him who had no problem with being fluent.
Well, I can’t evaluate that. But if I do have Asperger’s, than it is so weak as to be irrelevant. My behavior as a child is diametrically different from today and think it’s safe to conclude that it was environmental.
Does the doctor know about and approve of your reason for being desperate to join?
No, no way.

It didn’t come off that way, and I assume they reject people who are ‘desperate to join’ on principle.

I’ve been to multiple psychologists. I probably sound more fluent than most people my age.

Honestly, whether you have aspergers or not a lot of alarm bells are ringing in my head right now.
You’re not just set on joining the IDF, but rather any random army. Why?
And if you think aspergers is defined by “fluency” then you don’t really understand what aspergers/autism is, honestly.
Have you read this conversation at all?
