Is that something that you need to practice with your parents in the car? Or at least do it with somebody without so much of a vested interest in your success as your parents? That'll take a lot of the pressure load off you while still enabling you to practice and learn how to drive better.


I think it just makes the pressure worse. They don't understand that they get me stressed out no matter what they do. But they can care less about my Asperger's because they feel what they are doing is right.

Before when I used to have extreme outburst, they will yell at me saying that they don't care and I'm ruining their marrage.

Did I mention that they've never had kids before, so that makes things even worse. They look at me as an immature disabled adult which is kind of harsh. They've never said it as that but that's how I feel they look at me and I look back at them as mean, Judgemental jerks.

Though I hate to talk bad about them because they do provide me survival wise, it's their personalities that I can't get along with. And I bet that they feel the same way about me.

The eternal catch-22. How can you resolve this?

I'm back from driving with my Father. I guess it wasn't as bad, I was still nervous on the road and I told him so. But I still have the feeling where I just want to yell and scream at my parents just to make me feel better and then have then randomly appoligize and maybe a little tear in their eye to show their sympathy for always pissing me off. I think they piss me off more than making me smile. I'm going to try to relax by watching something that I would enjoy and hopefally I will not be rudely interupted. GOD It's almost been 1 hour of hell on the road, plus my father trying to wash my windows and my Step Mother getting pissed off at him and she wants me to stand up to him even more even though she doesn't know that I do behind the wheel. Whatever.

Well another day and unfortunatly my Stepmother is in the house until Monday so unfortunatley I have to put up with that. Hopefalley SHE WOULDN'T GIVE ME A HARD TIME!

Dad is going to have me drive him somewhere, I don't know where or how far or how long so that tends to piss me off. It's the most nerve racking thought that's probably going to be on my mind for the next 5 months. :(

What size of town do you live in? It took me about 2 months to learn most of Red Deer, and in less than a year, I knew most of East Central and Cental Alberta, :)
