Driving

Roguelife

I gave up learning to drive when I was nineteen because I couldn't even pass the theory test. Now I've picked it up again and have been learning to drive for around a year. I can get from A to B just fine and my manoeuvres are okay, but I've failed the practical test three times. 

Anyone else find driving extremely challenging? I know a few other autistic people and as far as I'm aware none of them drive.

  • I passed the test on my first attempt. I used to drive to work daily and for a number of years would have a 400 mile round trip once every month. Then my employer doubled the parking charge at work and I moved to public transport. Now I hardly ever drive and find it very stressful, they seem to design more and more illogically-laid out road junctions that just baffle me.
