Some really disgusting news for autistic people in Australia.
There are no real studies about how much of a risk autistic drivers are, but now they do this?

Considering how few of us are actually fully diagnosed, any study about percentages of autistic people involved in car accidents must be completely off.
Also, even GPs don't know enough about autism. That expert quoted in the article? She's beyond condescending. Her words made me furious.
