Today’s drivers are dyspraxic and autistic….. The first has already messaged me this morning to say she wants an easy lesson that doesn’t challenge her too much. When I asked her what she meant by challenge, she said it would be a route with very few roundabouts and less urban. I think we’ll take time to look at the emotions behind this today and see what else we can discover….. The autistic lads that I’m working with later are fab; I love their transparency. Both say what they think with no ‘agenda’. I love how they take absolute responsibility for their learning in our sessions and are completely ‘real’. The first is looking at how he reacts to other road users and pedestrians in town centres, the second is looking at how to overcome his fears at junctions.
