In my country (not US), I’ve been given a summons by the court in order to appear for Jury Duty (and of course it’s mandatory to show up on the appointed date), but I have Autism (makes it difficult for me to interact with strangers and have distrust towards the authorities). I was last diagnosed when I was around 15 years old whilst the first was since 7.

The only thing I have that somewhat counts as medical proof as a psychological assessment on paper confirming I have Autism (as in on the spectrum) back when I was in 9th grade. Even if I waited through the jury panel, and for some reason the lawyer/s decided I should become a juror (despite not wanting to for medical reasons), could I use that as evidence?

However, will the judge accept that even though it’s an confirmed medical diagnosis from when I was a teen after pleading my case as to why I am ineligible to serve (difficulty on interacting with others, difficulties with understanding social cues or heightened anxiety), although even if excused: will that be considered permanent or temporary?
