Very curious on learning more about teens driving and learning to drive on the spectrum. Was it stressful moms? Was it hard to learn?
I would like to hear answers from both moms and individuals on the spectrum.

I was worried when my son wanted to get his licence so I signed him up for driving lessons. He's now a better driver than I am?

Of my five kids, only one has a driver's license. A was determined to do it, and she got her license at 16. That's her personality with everything. M is 31 and does not drive. S has never had an interest in getting his license, but now at age 28, he is working on it. G just turned 20, and he is not ready. J will be 16 in July and he has expressed a lot of interest in getting his license. He pays attention and asks questions when I drive, so maybe he will get it at 16 like his sister. We'll see. My thinking is that if they aren't motivated to do it on their own, then they aren't ready. I wish S had done it before now, though.

My daughter took the class at her high school during the pandemic. She did very well and got her license in December 2021. She wanted more practice before taking her road test than is required.
