Aspergers drivers

Hi Shooter, refused because of Aspergers sounds very odd... are there any specific aspects of your sons Aspergers that you think might prevent him from driving?

Here is the Government information, if you/he knows he is not affected I would challenge it: https://www.gov.uk/asperger-and-driving

This man with Asperger's is a driving instructor - and he teaches other Aspies to drive! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-17589282

Thanks for replying he hasn't had any lesson because its his provisional driving licence that he was refused, just before he applied for has licence  he was discharged by his consultent so shouldn't of been a problem.

Did he take driving lessons?  if his instructor felt he was ready for his test and there were no problems caused by his AS when he was learning there is no reason for him to be refused.  The DVLA states that unless your GP states you shouldn't drive because of the condition (in which case they would have to have cause that it is affecting your driving) you can drive with AS.  I have AS and drive.

Double posted for some reason sorry about that :P

That is odd if they did it out right. My brother is learning to drive and has taken a test didn't even mention his aspergers as far as I know. I found learning much too stressful so gave up.

Just read the DVLA website and it says they cannot out right refuse someone a licence with 'developmental disorders' which they list aspergers under. But will consider each case individually.
