Hello, I am applying for a US Nonimmigrant visa, and am now on the question regarding criminal records. I was convicted many years ago in juvenile court a number of times, and since being an adult have not committed any crimes. A big factor in my crimes was the fact that I had undiagnosed aspergers and was untreated ; since being diagnosed I have really flourished. I wish to include this as it is a reason for my developmental issues which resulted in crimes being committed. But will the embassy see this as a risk to them on mental health grounds? Or will it be viewed as a valid explanation? I honestly know I won't commit any crimes and am really embarrassed about my ways as a youth
