I have been struggling to pass my driving test. I have autism Asperger's syndrome. I am lacking attention to detail, focusing issues and have been hesitant. I wanted to know people who have autism Asperger's syndrome how have you come across driving tests? What things did you do to cope with it and pass the driving tests. What techniques have you been using.
If some one can share there story that will be a great help too.
Thank you
Several people told my Mum as I was growing up that I would never manage to have a driving license and I also had reservations. However thanks to the support of my Mum, I now do have a driving license. I was very hesitant when driving as I was scared I could accidentally harm someone. This was worsened by me finding it difficult to figure out the driving itself. I would probably not have managed without my mum- I was able to practice with her and she really pushed me ("GO faster") and gave me confidence and made me practice. I think for me it was all about being able to practice with someone that gave me confidence and pushed me just the right amount. If you can find someone to practice with that knows you well and can give you the right encouragement, that might help... Also finding a good and supportive instructor that understands is helpful.
