Alice and Eleni

Alice (20) lives with her family in Kettering and is reliant on her mother for lifts. Now she wants a place of her own, so needs to learn to drive to get around. Alice, though, has Asperger's syndrome and gets easily distracted whilst driving; particularly when passing houses she would like to live in. If she can focus more on the road her instructor will let her book a test. Eleni (30) from Nottingham has spent the last seven years looking for full time employment and believes passing her driving test will get her the job she desperately craves. Eleni also has Asperger's syndrome and suffers from extreme anxiety behind the wheel. Desperate to work, she is still unemployed despite having applied for thousands of jobs. Not having a driving licence is not helping her chances. Eleni needs to conquer her nerves if she is to pass her tests and improve her chances of getting a job.
