Research Survey: Teaching your child with ASD to drive

[Guest guest]

Researchers at the University of Virginia are interested in hearing from parents

of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), between the ages of 15-25,

regarding the process of teaching their child to drive. We would appreciate

input from parents who are: currently in the process of teaching their child to

drive, OR have attempted to teach their child to drive in the past, OR

successfully assisted their child to secure a driver's license. The information

we receive from the survey may be used to inform future research aimed at

developing support for individuals with ASD who are learning to drive. If you

are interested in contributing to our project, please click on the survey link

below. The survey is anonymous and will take 15-20 minutes to complete.

We are going to face this very issue in about 5 months. He is a twin and I have

been prepping them (really my as son) that just because they're 16 doesn't

necessarily mean they will drive or drive at the same time. I just can't see my

AS son being mature, focused or responsible enough in the next 5 months.

Between this and dating relationships I think I have a few more grey hairs from

the stress!! Would love to hear how others have dealt with these issues.
