I'm in a situation where the only realistic way to get to where I work is by car, but I can't drive. I've been too scared to learn to drive and finally had 2 lessons last year and then quit because it was making me too stressed.
At the moment my wife drives me to work. She told me to take the job even though I knew I could not get to it myself and said she would always drive me but now she says she doesn't want to drive me any more.
Being in a car even as a passenger sometimes makes me quite nervous, flinching when other cars go past, and I can't really contemplate being the driver. Having to check a mirror even though I know I often look right at something but not "notice" it's there, having to maintain concentration when I regularly find myself daydreaming at inopportune moments, and panicking under stress all make me think i would be a danger on the road.
Has anyone else had to deal with this sort of situation, these sort of feelings? I've seen that there are some driving schools who say they have experience of teaching autistic people so i could try and see if they make it any easier but i really feel like driving is something i can never do..
