Disclosure of diagnosis with regard to driving

classic codger

I've seen a few people chatting about the 'who to tell' dilemma. Since I was diagnosed, I've tried to be careful about who I tell, mostly because I don't know when, where, how or why it might be appropriate...

However, today it suddenly popped into my head that ASD might be something that the DVLA and my insurance company should know, but I've no idea whether or not it falls under their respective 'medical disclosure' requirements.

I'd like to know if anyone has done so, was it actually required at all, and if you have, how did it go?

  • As far as I know, you only need to tell them about things that are impairments. So if you are not impaired, then no. None of the autistic people I have met have trouble driving, and I have friends/family who are probably on the spectrum who are very good drivers and have never had accidents. 

    If you are concerned I would contact them anonymously and ask.
