I drive but will go out of my way to avoid city driving, heavy traffic, anything that keeps me from feeling in control. When I get in heavy traffic, its like I see everything, but none of it registers. I have to really force myself to concentrate on what I am doing. Someone will come up beside me, and I jump because I am just unaware of them. I once had a cop behind me with the lights and siren going, and didn't even know. My passenger had to tell me.
I really thought I was the only one who hated driving.
[QUOTE=fukaiotaku]I am 21 years old with ADD/ADHD and other issues as well like Asperger's. When I was 16 it never occured in my mind to drive or take driver's education in high school. Even as I got older sometimes I would think about it, but even today for transportation I have my family take me places or the bus take me. I can't drive due to severe anxiety issues as well as I'm terrible with directions and other things some related to the ADD/ADHD. Can anyone else not drive due to these issues? [/QUOTE]
