Learning to drive is something I've always wanted to conquer. I've had 3 sessions in the past with 2 different instructors. It's just not something I don't think I'll ever be able to do. It doesn't come easy, like most things in life!
The instructions whilst driving are massively hard. I need time to process any kind of instruction, so trying to do this whilst in a car that I'm trying to drive is near impossible. Both experiences have been bad ones and I end up with either massive fear anxiety or I enter a shutdown bubble afterwards.
I've been in search of a suitable driving instructor/company that are compassionate with autistic people, and have the patience! Does anybody have any recommendations?
Hello @Dani,
I am sorry to hear that you have negative experiences with driving lessons so far. You may want to use our Autism Services Directory to search for driving lessons in your area that cater for people with an autism spectrum disorder. You can find the Directory here: https://www.autism.org.uk/directory
Many thanks,

Ah thankyou. I'll have a browse. I never knew this directory existed!
