I used to work as a support worker for adults with learning difficulties because of politics i left so i dont know how the story ends.....

I used to support a guy with aspergers syndrome who wanted to learn to dive. I looked into it spoke to a few local PADI and BSAC instructors all of whom said it would depend on the individual circumstances. I arranged for him to speak to an instructor who was willing to teach him. Sadly this guys danger awareness was a little exaggerated and he decided it was too dangrous for him. I do not know if he ever got to dive as i left.

Ultimately it seems that as has been said it will depend greatly on the individual
