I got this by goggling the subject on the National Autistic Society-Driving.

their site is added below related links.
The NAS Autism Help line occasionally gets asked about the rights of people with autism in relation to learning to drive. As autism is a spectrum disorder it is impossible to say that people with autism either should or should not be allowed to drive. Some people with autism may find this skill extremely difficult to grasp, while others will be highly competent drivers.

∙ 12y agoIn most cases "yes." The answer really depends on the individual. There are different types of autism spectrum disorders and individuals with autism range from very low functioning intellectually to those with average intelligence. Those with Asperger's often have above average intelligence. Those with autism spectrum disorders also range from very involved (ex. those with severe sensory processing issues and rituals that could interfere with life activities such as driving) to those with very subtle behavioral traits. Driving is very achievable for individuals with autism spectrum disorders who have the ability to learn to drive and who do not have specific behavior patterns (like some forms of sensory seeking for example) that could interfere with driving.

How did Daniel Radcliffe get dyspraxia?
Harry Potter the character does not have dyspraxia, the actor who played him Daniel Radcliffe does. Radcliffe has not discussed his dyspraxia much in public, but he did mention that he struggles with simple tasks such as tying his shoelaces. His publicist stated that Radcliffe only has mild dyspraxia. Not a lot is known about dyspraxia and those with it tend to find ways to adapt to the tasks they find difficult.

Did Albert Einstein have Dyspraxia?
There is no definitive evidence to suggest that Albert Einstein had dyspraxia. He demonstrated exceptional cognitive abilities in physics and mathematics, which may have overshadowed any motor coordination difficulties commonly associated with dyspraxia.
Can you go bowling if you have dyspraxia?
The answer is yes, you can. Having Dyspraxia does not mean you have to be discluded from activities such as ten pin bowling, snooker or pool.

why are boys more likely to have dyspraxia more than girls?
Boys are more likely to have dyspraxia than girls due to genetic and brain development differences. Boys tend to have a higher prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders in general, which may contribute to this disparity. Additionally, there may be gender-specific social and environmental factors that also play a role.
