Struggling to pass my driving test.

NAS73809

I have been struggling to pass my driving test. I have autism Asperger's syndrome. I am lacking attention to detail, focusing issues and have been hesitant. I wanted to know people who have autism Asperger's syndrome how have you come across driving tests? What things did you do to cope with it and pass the driving tests. What techniques have you been using.

If some one can share there story that will be a great help too.

Thank you Blush

    It's over 50yrs ago i did my driving test. When i was 16 i took a test on my motorbike ........... and went the wrong way. If it's still the same, the examiner tells you to go around the block, taking 1st left 2nd left, untill i tell you to stop. And you can see him running from corner, i only went around the block twice when he stopped me and said, now go again but this time go 1st right 2nd right. ..... I ended up going around and around, and i couldn't see him, at first i thought he must have been hiding watching me, then i started to wonder, had he gone home for lunch........ Eventually he came into sight and stopped me ...... Where have you been ? You're suppose to be further up the road ? All i could say was sorry, but we carried on with the test, and surprise surprise he passed me.

    When i was 17, i got a Reliant Robin, 3 wheeler like in Fools & Horses. I could drive that on my motorbike licence, so when i got a 'real' car' with 4 wheels a year later i'd had all that experience of driving the 3 wheeler.
