Driving

I understand you greatly, Im know 24 years old and have made multiple attempts at gaining my driving licence, Not only am i autistic but i also believe i have Attention Deficit Disorder. Honestly no one im my family understand how autism and Attention Deficit Disorder actually affect be and how much difficult it make learning to drive. I have been through multiple driving instructors who have taken advantage of me financially. I have had multiple driving schools saying i am unsafe or unfit to drive because of my diagnoses. I have had Driving instructors cancel my lessons because they cant read me and i am so unpredictable to them. i have spent over £2,000 in the last year trying and i have had to nearly accept that might never be able to drive. But saying that i recently found an amazing driving instructor before covid-19 hit . Saying that the instructor hasn't given up on me and is patiently waiting for be to get the finds together to do my driving lessons again with him, my only problem with him is he is very social and it makes lessons very exhausting.

I also recommended that your parents if they can insure their car with you as a learner and take you out twice week to develop skills at your own pace. The pressure their putting on you to achieve this skill is coming from a good place but the pressure and frustration will make you malfunction and more like to break under the pressure and lead to an accident. They also need to get onboard with whole autism is affecting you and it will take longer and possible cost you more than the average person.  

My sensory processing disorder personally make me extremely sensitive to light i recommend getting adaptive lenses with anti glare because headlight are evil.

Also you need to find a Driving instructor who has experience with teaching neurodiverse individuals will help, they will help you develop strategies in recognising when you safe and unsafe to drive, this may mean they are more likely to regnosie when you are becoming overwhelmed and need to take a short break, They are also tend to be more patience with you and tend to less likely to flinching  and being overly negatively cautious with you which just distracts you.
