Being autistic doesn’t automatically mean that you can’t drive. Sometimes depending on where you live it might be harder getting a drivers license, because you’ll need the approval from your doctor. Personally I find driving to be way more sensory friendly than public transport, so I’m very grateful to have that independence and be able to get around 🙂👍. #autism #autismawareness #autisticadult #disabilityawareness #autismspectrum #autisticdriver #adhd #disability #inclusion #independence #auti
