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?

  • thanks all for your replies, I to am worried about him being in situations that will over load him, its been a real week of learning here, his bike broke down (the joys of no money and your dad as a machanic...bless) and my son seemed so happy, we were puzzled as riding his bike is the thing he loves the most in the world, but after his 1st little outing he realised that unless he was doing a loop and arriving back home, at some point he would meet people and there was a possibility of interaction with them, so his worst fear and his biggest dream just hit each other head on.we live in a very rural area, and he only wants to ride to his grand parents and to his friends (1/4 mile up the road).My husband is now saving like mad to get a road bike so that they can go out together and Hubby will be there as a support for when they get to their destination. Son is really happy with this and i am to. he is more than capable of riding and controling the bike, hes been riding moto x since he was 6,but the interactions at the petrol station, etc are just goingto be to much for him at the moment.He says he never wants to drive a car, but i dont think it would be the car thats the problem, it would be the being on his on that would be tough for him.
