See, you are doing something right - encouraging him to learn skills and build up self esteem.

A nice comment topic

Thank you, L2S. Now he is learning to drive on those 400 series highways. Very brave! Then he takes another test to get the full G license.

Belated appreciation topic

Many thanks for the warm praises from such considerate members. I have rarely posted anything deeply personal and dear to me, as I thought it might bore others. I know driving is a one of those tasks that is hard for many on the Spectrum.

Once again, thanks for indulging me to have a little brag! :D

Driving is definitely hard for ASD people...

I had a hard time learning it because you need to develop a generalized new mental state...I used to concentrate on developing one thing, and end up neglecting everything else.
