My solution for this was to do a deep dive into crash safety ratings on IIHS and find the safest car options, including with extra warnings/emergency adjustments that make it more accessible to me. So… now I’m leasing a Tesla Model Y. (I got it before Elon decided to break the government). Still a fantastic car, but there are other options too.

not sure if this eases your anxiety, but it’s helped with mine when im driving. i bought a dash cam. it catches anybody driving dumb as hell, it combats insurance fraud that other drivers might do, and helps me make sure i’m driving the best way i can.

Then stop getting in the car. Walk everywhere and Lyft. Trust me as people who love driving we don’t want anyone on the road who is scared to drive a machine. So for everyone’s best interest stay off the road ~signed by a Karmaborne

I’ve watched people spin the block, make 4 right turns, park by pulling in and get their license. TERRIFYING

It gets a lot easier as you get more practice! I renewed my permit instead of getting my license for years because I wouldn't practice enough, but now I kinda like driving and will often volunteer to drive friends around! (Just yesterday drove for 2 hours each way to help a friend buy a car)

This post isn’t inherently neurodivergent. They probs just posted it here bc they are. You not feeling the same way doesn’t discount your experiences as a neurodivergent person💕
