Hi there guys, gals, and non-binary pals!

I had a question about something pertaining to the subject of jury duty. You see, I have high functioning autism/Aspergers and I was wondering if this diagnosis would somehow get me out of serving as a juror on a more federal level instead of serving as a juror on a more local level.

In my honest opinion, I don’t think it does excuse me because I am high functioning and for the most part, capable of things that a juror is required to do. However, my mom wants to see if she can use my diagnosis as an excuse for me to NOT serve as a juror.

So I was wondering for all of you that have/haven’t served as a juror in court, Is it possible for me to use my Aspergers as an “excuse” to get out of jury duty?
