  • Answer:

    Well you do mention that you know people with Aspergers who can drive cars. So yes. Driving does involve hand eye coordination and ability to think fast. You often see morons driving cars these days, so if they can pass a driving test, then anybody can if they have the determination. Also you've got to have the desire and motivation to drive. Some people can't drive, simply because they dislike it. But they don't have the inability, they just don't like it. But everyone can drive. The driving part is actually the easiest. You've just got to learn the rules on the road as there is so many to remember.

Autism has very little effect on whether or not a person can drive - some with severe problems may not be able to drive due to anxiety, sensory issues, clumsiness, or problems recognising dangers or other environmental cues...but most people who are mildly affected by autism can drive. Most people I know who are on the spectrum can drive, for example my fiancé is a particularly good driver, not only driving fine on freeways and around busy areas in Los Angeles, but also he's an avid off-roader so negotiates some pretty dangerous tracks.

Aspergers syndrome makes people not know how to be social... it has nothing to do with hand eye coordination and driving.

It depends on the individual. If a person has a severe sensory overload "problem," then they may benefit from not driving. I personally drive, but don't use the freeway if it's too busy because if my brain becomes overstimulated, it "shuts down" (meaning it doesn't process information as quickly or, depending on how many things are going on/how overstimulated my brain gets, it doesn't process at all). To compensate for your autism, you may benefit from what I do: drive on side streets, not the freeway, where it can get very dangerous very fast if your brain, like mine, becomes overstimulated. Will, Daniel, and Coulter: If you guys can't bother to educate yourselves on *all* aspects of what someone with autism can face, then it'd be best if you not answer at all. Remember, "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." Don't talk about what you obviously don't understand, okay? Thanks!

Someone with Aspergers someone who has trouble dealing with social ques in the real world.

Some people with Asperger's syndrome are very slow to read cues in their environment so they would be unsafe drivers. That is not the case with all people with Asperger's syndrome. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/27/the-challenge-of-driving-with-aspergers/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0

I think you have something besides aspergers making you inept at life. Aspergers causes a lack in ability to read social cues, not blindness
