Same. Twin brother has Aspergers and he's struggling right now to get a license. His only problem these days is passing the test and reverse parking. Reverse parking is just hard, and I've told him that you just need to learn it well enough to do it once, at the test, and never again, unless you live in a VERY urbanized area (which we do not).

The test though....driving tests are a pretty loose, arbitrary, chaotic kind of "test". The assessor is judging you on things they don't tell you about while they have a random chat with you and occasionally just say "ok turn left here", without saying whether they mean the car park or the lights. And they dock you points for not understanding what they meant.

I passed my own test the first time, but sjnce then I've run into those KINDS of tests many many times and they always hurt my brain (and I MIGHT be autistic, but it must be to such a minor level that it's not worth finding out tbh). But they absolutely wreck my brother. And he blames himself so much for not being good enough at the test and somehow not deserving to drive. And really, it's not about whether he's a safe driver; it's about whether he can convince some 50 year old chatterbox that he can follow whatever vague and arbitrary instructions he's given.
