Planning on driving a car with ASD

Hey,

It's James here (now 20 turning 21 this year) with ASD

I'm planning on saving money to buy my car so I can drive it only on a farm (with no public access) with my support person

If your any questions please ask

Thanks

Hi James

What a wonderful goal!
Thanks so much for posting and sharing your plans with the community.

I wish you the best of luck with your savings. Do you have a plan?
Kind thoughts to you

Yes I do have a plan

However, I failed the learner permit application

So I need evidence to prove I can drive

I will post the videos of me driving on the farm on YouTube after I bought my car

Hello again

Good luck gathering your evidence to demonstrate your driving skills. It’s really important because even though you won’t be on public roads, you or your carer could still be hurt should there ever be an accident or mishap.
I like the idea of celebrating your accomplishment with a video.

Good luck!
