DVLA notifiable condition change.

I have only just become aware of the change made by DVLA that now means EVERYONE with ASD/AS (also ADHD) must declare their diagnosis. Not just like previously when it required declaring only if it affected driving.

How did they make this change without anyone being informed? It is a big worry now. A decision is supposed to be made by DVLA regarding declaration within 6 weeks. How is that going to happen with the sudden huge influx of extra forms they recieve and investigations they have to make?

I've been driving for 17 years. I have been autistic all my life. I got my diagnosis 2 months ago. It makes no sense.

I am worried. I am posting here to see if anyone has already declared and what happened next?
