Driving

NAS75423

My 16 year old cousin has Phelan-McDermid syndrome so he is on the spectrum and would love to drive. He won’t be able to drive due to his abilities we don’t know what to do as we can’t change his mind.  Has anyone came across this before or have any alternatives? We were thinking when he’s old enough to drive that we would take him out to somewhere safe where there is no one about and let him attempt to drive to show him that he can’t drive. Does anyone have any other ideas?

  • Ultimately it’s a question of his motor skills and whether he suffers from seizures. If his hand eye coordination and reaction times are good then with enough help he probably can learn to drive. If he has seizures though he’ll almost certainly never be allowed to drive.
