  • Hi, thanks for your comments! There's nobody I've trained in Sheffield at the moment - however you're willing to come to Leicester for a couple of days and I can start him off slowly, after which he will be capable and confident enough to go to a local ADI. If you're interested, feel free to email me at exceldia@ntlworld.com . Or I could go to Sheffield and start him off there! If interested, please ask!!

  • @ruthroses1 IWell done for passing your test! I teach Pass Plus - if you're interested give me a shout! It could save you quite a bit of money in car insurance, as well as teaching you essential skills!

    Most of my pupils have Aspergers.

  • @ruthroses1 Good on you!:) I have some Aspergers and wish one day to learn how to drive a car myself. I hope it happens.

  • by problems i dont mean aspergers autism or stuff like that

  • i dont have any problems but i'm 14 and i drive

  • This is a verry interesting way to get people with autism to learn to be good drivers. We need stuff like these for people with autism in America.

  • Hi Julia..my son has Aspergers and is wanting to learn to drive..we're in sheffield do you know of any specialists like yourself in our area..He's had such a rough time i'd like him to do something that will make him truly happy.. Kind regards Martine
