Driving with Autism

    Is it possible? Or is it dangerous for a person with Autism to be on the roads? I would have thought it is, but I don' think there is anything to say that a person with Autism cannot do the driving test and get a full licence. I was just curious, as I don't have much understanding of the condition.

    I would say it depends on where on the autistic spectrum they are and how it effects them. It's a range of symptoms and a range of how effected a person is by them.
