<p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) formulates its guidance for drivers
with medical conditions, including autism spectrum disorders (ASD), in conjunction
with the relevant honorary medical advisory panel. In this instance, an attempt by
the DVLA to clarify the guidance caused confusion and concern. The advice for both
drivers and medical professionals has now been amended to make clear that a driver
who has an ASD only needs to tell the DVLA if the condition could affect their driving.</p><p>The
DVLA has undertaken to engage fully with relevant stakeholders and the appropriate
honorary medical advisory panel over the guidance for drivers with ASD.</p>
