    This is untrue, you can drive if you have autism. However, formally you’d have to undergo an extra “examination” which in practice is a 5 minute talk that’ll cost €300, oh and, you have to pay it yourself.

    Even driving instructors tell you it’s bullshit and won’t bat an eye for not doing that.

    If you get found out of not having done this examination, and an accident occurs, however, then the police may be an ass. Which is bullshit as there’s your medical diagnosis, and autism should by itself not have consequences for driving ability. Dementia however…

      Well, I know of at least one person who’s choosing not to get diagnosed as a direct result of that policy.
