Learning to drive with dyslexia & dyspraxia?
i have very mild dyslexia and im currently learning to drive. im also learning in a manual pretty much for the same reasons as you are but also here in the UK (i dont know where your from) if you learn in an automatic once you pass you can only get an automatic car you cant drive a manual,but if you learn in a manual you can get an automatic once you pass. i dont struggle to much at school but when im driving the bits i find the hardest is remembering what gear im actually in when it comes to changing it, then when it comes to changing it the coordination of doing the pedal the stick controlling the car looking where im going and then getting the right amount of gas once its in gear. i also struggle to remember what ive learnt the week before even though i know it, it just takes a while for me to bring it back to memory. apart from that i dont struggle to much. im trying to believe in myself a bit more to give me the confidence i need and to kind of reassure myself that i CAN drive it just might take me a little bit longer than everyone else. Im hoping to pass my test first time which would be a great achievement, if not then its not the end of the world, just got to keep trying
