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’.
Not to mention driving a car is a terrifying and expensive thing.
I didn’t get my license until I was 26 (Im still 26 lol) because I was terrified I would get distracted on the road because of my ADHD, or I would freeze up in a bad situation due to other issues.
I do have to listen to music while driving or I can lose focus much easier, but otherwise it isn’t as bad as I had expected, I actually like driving… (even considering how terrible Cali drivers are and how I have to always be alert and anticipate drivers around me will do something stupid…)
I probably like driving so much because I grew up in a family that never had a car, so Im used to always having to take public transit to do anything and having a car is so damn convenient and I can be way more antisocial with one because I can do drive thru for fast food or go shopping at 11 at night and do ROAD TRIPS on my own…
