hey if u can’t drive/are a slow learner due to a disability or mental illness, just picture historical figures like pirates or the founding fathers trying to operate a car.
it’s only “easy” bc we’ve normalized it.
it would be great for neurotypicals to reblog this
I didn’t get my license until I was 26 because of my mental health struggles. Just sayin’.
Took me until 24 to beat back my anxiety enough to be able to drive, and I still sometimes have almost panic attacks on the road.
30 and still haven’t learned because of anxiety. You’re doing just fine.
31 and I thankfully have the luxury of choosing not to drive, mostly because driving gives me anxiety and always has, though I do have a license and I can do it, and we have decent public transit in my city.
It also doesn’t help that I have moderately terrible peripheral vision, due to genetics and being born prematurely.
Personally, I’ll be over the moon when self-driving cars become available to the general public.
