Remove Autism and ADHD from the list of DVLA compulsory notifiable conditions.
The DVLA are asking Neurodivergent individuals to notify them of their diagnosis without any explanation or reason why. If we have already passed our driving test, there is no reason why this is necessary.
There are no studies suggesting that neurodiverse drivers are any less competent than neurotypical driver. This is a huge amount of time, energy and resources wasted for no apparent reason at all. We are concerned about the lack of understanding of our neurodiversity or consultation with our community.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the DVLA has since clarified that there is only a need to inform them of adhd and autism if it impacts the ability to drive.
You can find the revised guidance here:

You could start a new petition to remove the requirement to notify the DVLA entirely if that is something you would like to see happen.
