Well, my 16 year old is driving all by his lonesome! It sure is nice during these every-day-for-two-weeks pre-school band practices. For those of you new to the site, my son has Asperger Syndrome although you would be hard pressed to identify him at this point (now, 10 years ago it was a different story altogether!).
His ability to hyperfocus has proven to be beneficial in his driving skills as he pays attention all the time. He is a rules-follower and doesn't know it's an option to disobey, so, for now, I know he won't turn on the radio or answer his cell phone when he is driving but will wait till he pulls over or reaches his destination.
And the fact that he is driving his own car certainly bolsters his image among his peers.
Just watch out if you're driving around us...
