| May 19 at 2:24 | comment | added | Amazon Dies In Darkness | It sounds like the bigger issue is that pilot certification bodies need to determine what types of autism, if any, can impact one's ability to be a safe pilot. I have friends with autism that can possibly be safe pilots (I am not qualified to make that evaluation, so I simply use the word "possibly", as I would for most candidates), but I also have friends with autism for whom, unfortunately, the autism would very likely make them unsafe pilots (or vehicle drivers). Of course, the same is true for everything that can impact performance, including age, vision, alcohol/drug use, sleep, & stress. | |
