Answer 3

I have aspergers and never had any difficulty driving.  The only problem I have is crowded and jammed traffic.  I don't like the feeling of being trapped like that.  Take him out of some country roads somewhere and put him in the drivers seat.  See how it goes.

Answer 4

Generally No, I have A.S. but in my experience there is no funding for driving, and many of the schools will not modify there teaching to accomodate try checking out your local agencies that help people with autism but otherwise it is difficult to find funding for Driving
