Re: Drivers licence for son with schizophrenia
My son was not diagnosed with schizophrenia until he was around 24 yrs of age, and we taught him to drive from age 17, he struggled a bit, but he was very determined and he got his license on the third attempt. Driving gave my son independence and enjoyment, he drove a lot in busy cities, on country roads and on interstate trips. Over the years he became a very experienced and patient driver, and it's something he is proud of. I guess you both won't know if this is an achievable goal unless you try. You could get him to check with his doctor about how his medications may affect his driving, and whether it's possible to plan the best times to take medication in order to decrease their effects on his driving. Good luck 🙂

Re: Drivers licence for son with schizophrenia
Thank you, @Dama1. I will pass this onto my son, as I'm sure it will give him hope.
