| no i dn't think autism affects your height. i'm pretty sure i'm short due to my mom's short-ness genes being dominant. |

| I think you are smart enough to pass the driving test. I don't think you should give up. Its likely that you know how to drive but are doing something wrong in the exam. Most experienced drivers couldn't pass the test- because the test can fail you for technicalities that most people overlook. For ... |

| If you do get an instructor, make sure the person is friendly and approachable, and tell them about your autism. I did a brief stint with an instructor when I was eighteen, but it was really horrible because the guy was an a**hole; an ex-cop and an ex-marine, who would snap at me and get irritated ... |

| Soomander makes a good point. Driving Instructors are professionals, whereas your mother isn't. They know things that the rest of us don't, and could probably help you with driving stress. I first took driving lessions with my step-father, who is a jerk, and then in high school with a hopeless inco... |

i like the show/manga because of the mysterious, and dystopia themes. i like many of the characters too. Eren is a much better protagonist than winston from 1984.
any other fans of this series on here? |
