Today, an enquiry came through to my inbox from my website.
The enquirer wanted help with driving instructor training. I gave him a call, and quickly, some little alarm bells started ringing.
A monotone voice, a long winded attention to unimportant details, and a certain social ineptness, and total unawareness of that ineptness.
This person had been ditched by his previous trainer, because he phoned them on Christmas day to ask them a question. The trainer was not at all impressed by this, and told him in no uncertain terms where to stick his question, and any further training. This, my enquirer thought, was completely out of order.
Still, I have a two hour session with this person on Sunday, and will do my best to offer insights, advice, and to make him better at what he does.
When I eventually managed to get off the phone, I did a google search for him, and found that he's famous in a way. He did one of those so monumentally awful X factor appearences that the judges put him through to the next round so that they could take the piss out of him twice.
I suspect this person may have an autistic spectrum disorder, and that no matter how much work is put in, and how much money he spends, he's not going to be able to get through the tests, and quite rightly too.
driving lessons in North Wirral? learn to drive in Hoylake? driving instructor in Birkenhead?

Could you expand a little on how autistic symptoms affect driving ability. Genuine question. First hand observations would be best. I have a friend who is a fair way along the spectrum (you don't know him) and he drives every day. I was surprised by your implied correlation of the two, the skill and the personality trait.
Ignore that last post, this guy wants to be a driving instructor. Sorry, I misunderstood. Ignore, ignore. It is not there. You didn't see it.
