Any neurodivergents here who had a hard time learning how to drive?

What helped you?

Planning things out ahead of time. I would look locations/routes up on maps before actually driving. Unfortunately, it's a lot of forcing yourself to do it even if you hate it. I still hate it, but I have to do it to get to work.

i didnt start driving till i was 19 probably. i felt embarassed telling people i didnt have a license and guilty when coworkers offered to drive me home 😭 so my friend taught me. driving itself wasn't necessarily hard to learn but it was easy to feel anxious on the road with other people

@Frostcloud I relate so much. Did you do anything specifically to help you with the anxiety? How did you overcome it?

@SWUser193 what nadie said, planning routes. i'd look at maps before i would go. if i could, sometimes id do a "practice drive" to a location with a friend in the car so i could physically see where i need to go later and see what the parking situation is

Like everything just keep doing it and don't give up...go for drives at quieter times till you are comfortable
I never wanted to drive ...I was a late start ...I only started driving in my 30's .....still hate driving ..I drive out of necessity not for pleasure

I'm still learning. As for neurodivergence... Well, I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised
when I was 14, I lived in farmland of Florida, drove tractor then cars on back roads ,it seem natural,

I didn't get a licence until age 27 but more due to lack of necessity than my neuro spicy mental illness.
No, I know how to, drive

What is the problem for you? Do sounds or light conditions distract you too much?

@HobNoblin I don't care how I'm labelled. I'm normal for me and nothing else matters. Fuck sex relationships etc as I don't need those things in my life. I never needed a car drivers license until I was 27. So I saw no need to get one earlier.

@zonavar68 I don't have any of that either and don't want it. Not sure that makes me abnormal given the age we live in.
