A Rae in a manger 2:07pm 2:07pm, 17 Dec 2024 12,349 posts	0 A Rae in a manger I had to fill in a health questionnaire before doing the test for an addition to my driver's license and I'm already regretting ticking yes for having been diagnosed with autism - now apparently I need a doctor to certify that I'm capable of safely driving a van with trailer 😂 And of course there's no option for that in the app for making an appointment with my GP, so I'll have to call the practice. I've been meaning to see her about a couple of other little things, bit felt like none of them were urgent enough to warrant taking time off work but this y something I'm doing for work, so I guess it's worked out well really, but I'm annoyed nonetheless.
