confused by DVLA statement

Barnaby Crumble

Hi, we had my sons Official Aspergers diagnosis come through and he has just got his provisional bile license, it says on the DVLA site, to contact them if you have aspergers and you feel it affects your driving. well yes he has aspergers but no it doesnt affect his driving. do we tell them of his diagnosis but say no it doesnt affect his ability to ride or not tell them?

    If you would feel better telling them then do so, I am just a bit worried they might refuse him the chance of finding out. 

    If they do this, it has to be justified. You can't be refused a driving licence just because you have Aspergers. It would have to be due to your safety and /or that of others.

    In my case, I am banned because I can't read the number plate at 20 meters. There's also the issue of sensory overload, which would affect my ability to drive.
