Does the NAS know of any instances where failing to declare ASD has invalidated an insurance policy?
Who actually decides whether ASD affects your driving or not apart from a case when a doctor diagnoses a patient as unfit to drive?
Who decides could be the person themselves: 'I think my condition is affecting my driving at night, or in heavy traffic' for example, or from what people who know you well think, or the GP or advice from a professional (eg Autism support worker). The point is that you are given to believe you may be affected. As with many of the conditions it is particularly vague and a bit o a minefield to navigate.
One could always argue that if you pass a driving test then ASD does not affect your driving.
