Aww ikr re driving , personally I don’t mind driving sometimes but then other times I’m like nah lol, I drive a manual and it’s ok but tbh i absolutely love walking whenever I can … have you ever thought about driving an automatic… it’s less to take on behind the wheel
I read you say you’re autistic.. have adhd ?
I was diagnosed as having adhd as a kid but it turns out I was wrongly diagnosed and put on meds I shouldn’t have been on as a kid thankfully my mum took me off them when I was still little but my parents were led to believe as I was that I had adhd until I found out only last year that I actually didn’t have it at all
It’s crazy because I did so many things with my life while thinking that I actually still had adhd including learning how to drive so now I’m like this person who never even had it … I feel kinda betrayed re my mental health but at the same time I humour myself about it because it’s just ludicrous to think that for years I thought and my parents / family thought I had it
Anyhoo I’m rambling now
Always remember that protecting your personal boundaries and saying no to pick ups’ is perfectly ok … you don’t have to be anybody’s “yes woman”

@ThreeLittleBirds I actually don't have an issue with driving a manual. Its more the overwhelm of whats going on around me. The issue I have as an autistic person is that we are constantly taking in so much data. We struggle with filtering out whats important and what we can ignore. Being on the road, we are blasted with a lot of vital information along with a lot of distracting extra information. This is so much worse when visiting new places etc.

@Kuronekko this woman was trying to manipulate you. You said she did this before, which tells me she offered you a ride fully intending on shifting the responsibility of driving onto you. She was hoping where she pulled this before, you would bend and just do it. I am glad you didn’t feel guilty and give in.
I’m sorry it threw off your day, but it WILL be ok and I am sure you will feel better once the day gets going and all is said and done
