I'm Different: Let Me Drive

Episode 4: Alice and Eleni

Duration: 31 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

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 has Asperger's syndrome and gets easily distracted while 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 and 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 syndrome and suffers from extreme anxiety behind the wheel. She is desperate to work, but despite having applied for thousands of jobs, she is still unemployed. 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. Show less
