[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 645932, member: 1550"] Terry, I have long admired you for being so strong and not giving in and it has helped your son. "I'm holding it for a friend" is the typical answer for a difficult child when they are the ones who did it. My daughter told me that all the time. Was never her. It was him. Or both. I agree that your son is a danger to himself and others on the road and I know you're a nice person who would feel so bad if anything happened to anybody because he was driving. I would not allow him to drive yet. He is clearly not ready. My son on the spectrum, quite frankly, is never going to drive. He, like your son, is very impulsive and gets distracted easily and, while he wouldn't drink or anything, he'd be a hazard on the road. He himself decided not to drive. Your son WANTS to drive, but he isn't ready. to do so. I'd seriously not allow him to drive any vehicle under your name for a few years. He is not emotionally eighteen in any way, like my son and everyone on the spectrum. Even Aspergers is part of a developmental delay. These ASDers simply do not grow up on time. There's nothing wrong with waiting. You need to see that he stops playing around with substances before he drives. Of course, this is just what I would do and just my own .02. Please...keep him safe and sound and others too. Hugs!!!! [/QUOTE]
