H2o, do you mean autistic people ?
The only driving "school" around here is high school that I know of .

Yes

I found this in North Vernon Cap.

• 30 hours online + 6 hours drive training.....$410.00
• 6 hours drive training.....$375.00
• Additional driving hours.....$50.00 per hour
• Driving test.....$30.00
• Failed driving appointment.....$40.00
• Recreation of paperwork.....$10.00

I think that’s is a good trade off. I know it is expensive but I know you would feel so much better if he had his license. Plus he could drive himself to the range or whatever.

I would think he could drive, look at all he accomplished. That is expensive but while you have the money you should do it.

I agree with h2o-- he has to have some line drawn in the sand---he can't demand and get all his choices. Whatever will he do if you were unable to do for him?

 

[h2oratt]

What about his social worker or whatever. Could not the state pay to get him more independent?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

Yes

every autistic person has different skills and problems . The one thing they all agree on is socialization skills suck . There are different degrees of autism. Some may be the best drivers in the world while others should never get behind the wheel.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

I think Robert falls somewhere in between those but Im not sure.

 

[cheepteach]

a driving teacher should be told about his limitations, and should be able to make that determination

I wish I knew Teach. I ask myself that every day and I ask him as well.

It is easy for us to give advice. Being there and reasoning with him is hard. You don’t have any back up now with tom being in a decline. I am sorry. I would get on those people that are suppose helps him him.
