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?

    I am autistic and I drive an automobile (three, actually: two automatic transmissions with transfer cases, one a five-speed stick). I am utterly terrified when I drive among other cars, in cities (Santa Fe, Albuquerque) and highways. The other drivers act like homicidal lunatics, as if they believe there is no value at all in human lives.

    It ain't the autism that I find difficult when driving: it is the lack of autism in everyone else.
