Does anyone else get a taxi to college or University because of their Autism/Aspergers or Anxiety?

I've never heard of this before. It would be nice if every school offered this to their students.

I do! I'm in the UK and my taxi journeys are funded by Student Finance as part of my Disabled Students' Allowance. It has helped me tremendously :)

Thanks for letting me know. I'm also in UK and was told I could apply for this. It would be really helpful (as I may not otherwise be able to go to college with how my anxiety is at the moment.)

If you can apply for it and think it'd be helpful then I think you should definitely go for it :) I applied because of my anxiety too, on top of a few other ASD related things. If you'd like any advice on applying then feel free to PM me :)
