The Israeli military has a secret weapon — a highly trained squad of elite soldiers that’s entirely made up of autistic teens.

Young adults who have autism spectrum disorder and are normally excluded from Israel’s conscription are now getting a shot at serving their country as part of the Roim Rachok program, according to a new Esquire report.

Roim Rachok — which means “seeing far into the future” in Hebrew — is mutually beneficial. The Israel Defense Forces gets to tap into an underutilized subset of savants with razor-sharp focus, while the autistic service members gain a highly sought-after skill set that’ll grant them future workplace opportunities.

“These are the best soldiers in the unit,” a Roim Rachok commander named Eitan told the magazine. “It’s a win-win for the country. It’s a win-win for the soldiers. And it’s a win-win for me. This is the right thing to do at the right time.”

The program, founded in 2012, also provides a new way of looking at autism, which affects 1 percent of the world’s population.

In Israel, conscription — two years and eight months for men and two years for women — is seen as a rite of passage into adulthood. Those over the age of 18 are required to enlist in the IDF, though the autistic population is exempt and falls in a category known as Profile 21.

Leora Sali, a physicist with Israel’s national intelligence agency Mossad whose son is autistic, co-founded Roim Rachok with two other Mossad agents. The goal was to give her child purpose and the feeling of pride in being able to serve his country.

“I wanted him to be part of society,” Sali said. “I wanted him to learn to have a profession, to be able to work and support himself in the future.”

The program is thriving. About 80 percent of the 100 or so applicants each year are accepted into Roim Rachok. Candidates must be on the high-functioning end of the spectrum, as well as self-sufficient and displaying time-management skills.

The recruits’ three-month training involves visual and information analyses, or gathering intelligence online. The training puts to use the special talents of those with autism — such as being able to minutely study computer screens for long hours at a time and pick out explosives, underground tunnels and enemy activity.

“Autism is a present,” said a recruit named Yosef. “It is a gift to the world, and people on the spectrum can offer a lot to the world. And that’s why I’m here, to spread this word.”

The nature of the work, however, isn’t without risk.

One recruit, named Gil, said he was driven mad over trying to determine the location of a monument in a satellite photo.

“I will not stop until I find it,” he said. “But in the middle I will get very tired. I will be very sad because I can’t find it. Not eat. Nothing. Not sleep. When I go to sleep, I will think how to find it. Never stop.”

Roim Rachok has had a high success rate — 86 percent have stuck it out as IDF soldiers. And many rely on that military training to nab jobs with top companies like Intel and eBay after serving.

“We’re using the stage of the military to give these young adults the experience of work so they can utilize it in life,” said Roim Rachok co-founder Tal Vardi, a veteran Mossad agent.

“I felt that this is the purpose I’m here for,” he said, “to create a new life model for people with autism.”
