DRIVING

LibstheHobbit

hello!

I would like some advice from some autistic people. 

I'm 21 and I have been considering learning to drive but I am anxious about pretty much every part of driving. 

If you are autistic and can drive could you tell me about your experiences?

    That would put me off driving completely. I've reversed my car into someone else with my clutch only in a tight car park so no major damage and I've swung my own car into a car park pillar (my own fault for being a creature of habit at work and expecting to be in one of my usual spaces). I've never been hit by someone else and I'd probably be a wreck if I was!!!

    one poor woman you rear ended me went into shock and i had to pull her out of the car  after kicked the door open, I put her on hard shoulder and then drove her car  out of the fast lane before it was hit. 

    Then i noticed a child in the back  looking very bemused.

    yes accidents are not fun. The sound makes me go cold.
