[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 375938, member: 1233"] I know quite a few NT kids who take 2-3 years to pass those tests. I am sorry he was disappointed, but am not sure it is fully related to his diagnosis's. They don't help, of course. Why not write practice questions for him on flashcards? You can use the driver's manual and make up 10 a week. Each week he studies those 10, reviews previous questions, and you drill him with the flashcards. Then he can learn the material gradually and not forget past lessons. Not sure how difficult school is, you might want to do this in the summer. It took my gfgbro (genius IQ, no common sense) 2 tries at the written test and at least 3 tries at the driving test. Then he let his license expire at about age 30-35 and it took more tries than that at each of the tests - after he had been driving for about 15 years!!!!! After the first driving test (in his 30's) he called me because he couldn't understand why the examiner made him stop the car in the middle of the street and get out to let the examiner drive back to the testing office -- before they were 4 blocks away!!!!! The following tests had to be scheduled when that examiner was not working because he refused to ride with him again. (Of course gfgbro's car had guardrail burn on both sides of it and clearly from more than one occasion - no cause for alarm there, right? :surprise: :crazydriver::faint: The benefit to writing questions for him and working with him is that it will remind YOU of the rules and make you a safer driver, as well as give N some exposure to the rules if she is around when you work on them. It won't hurt to include her in the quizzing if she is interested. I read a study years ago that said most drivers cannot pass a written test 10 years after they get their licenses. Having driven in Cincinnati (where straight roads are a sign of Satanism - I am just positive about that, lol!) around the month before/after the Indy 500 and during snow, I don't doubt that statistic!
