Statistics on autistic drivers

Wagwan bredrins,

Does anyone know if there's ever been a study on the percentage of people with autism who hold a driving licence and/or drives a car? It would be really interesting to know as I'm currently learning to drive and I wanna know what percentile I am in so I can brag to my friends when I eventually pass my test Stuck out tongue

  • Hi 

    Good luck with the driving - it's probably one of the most important skills to have these days as it completely opens up your world.    I learned to drive over 30 years ago (it wasn't steam powered  Smiley )

    My Aspie quest for data meant I loved getting different cars to drive - each one is totally different to the others.   I've probably had approaching 40 cars over the years.

    No idea on the facts & figures - it would be interesting to know.
