Hi everyone,

Im new to this site and just needed to talk to people who may have experience in this area. 

I have a brother who was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism at the age of 5. He is now 17 and is going through the stage where he wants to experiment with smoking and drinking. My mum is tearing her hair out and is really worried about him. He has also been very interested in cars and from a very young age used to watch my dad fix cars. He has recently applied for a provisional licence however has not declared his disabilities as he is aware that he may not be able to drive. My mum is going to write to them and give them the information they need however, as horrible as it sounds, i really hope they wont allow him to drive. He has a terrible temper and can switch at any time turning violent. We are both so worried that he will put his own life at risk and of course others on the road. Has anybody had any experience with this as I would love to hear some suggestions.

  • Hi, I am new to the site but as a driving instructor dsa and iam registered grade 5 and an nvq3 in driving instruction .

    I am about to advance my driving instruction into dealing with Autistic , Asperger syndrome , ADHD , dyslexia , dyspraxia and mental health difficulties.

    The course I am taking is working alongside Julia Malkin MBE who is a high spectrum Autism and ADHD sufferer and will involve becoming aware of all symptoms and the possible effects whilst both learning to drive as well as advancing to Independant Driving

    The course is " Revolutions " and I look forward to both learning and helping others to become drivers and aid them or their driving instructors to overcome the problems normaly associated with Neuro Typical people.

    Thankyou for reading my introduction and I look forward to becoming more involved with the forums along with friendship , help and advise for people thru the forum or direct meetings for people in the east midlands area
