At the same time, since September 1, the list of diseases, in the presence of which it is forbidden to drive, has been updated. In it, general disorders of psychological development, including autism, Rett and Asperger’s syndromes, as well as eye diseases were added to mental disorders – achromatopsia was replaced by anomalies of color vision.
Can’t have a shortage if theres a lada cars but no drivers.

what’s the logic in preventing autistic people as a group from driving?
what’s the logic
Will to live. Autism isn’t a joke.
Fuck you
💯
As a general idea, it makes sense, but then I read the list and…Asperger’s?
Asperger’s syndrome… is a … neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by significant difficulties in … restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.
No, that’s not just introverts who try to avoid too much communication. It really sounds like a serious condition that may influence driving.
Am autistic, have had 0 accidents in the road in a decade. Anecdotal, but outside of severe autism it doesn’t cause an issue.
“Sounds like” being the key phrase.
Can I see your medical degree?
No, you can’t. Nor I can see yours. But that’s not important.
So what is important?
The arbitrary decision to remove driving licences from “undesirables” in a country whose driving standards are so poor it’s a genre of internet video?
So logical.
