Driving can be all of the above; but it gives one independence and freedom. Is that the part of it that aspies are afraid of? That they have to haul their own load?
oh, no. . I am a true Aspie, I drive trucks. I load up a big 26ft UHaul with my sweet little Chrysler LeBaron sports car ( convertible, naturally! and Daytona red, too! and I love to drive HER too!) on a trailer on the back and drive from Minneapolis to Astoria, Oregon. I want to tell you, driving mountian passes in the driving snow with the sides of the truck scraping along the banked snow and gravel. . .well, all I did was keep the rear tire of the car trailer on the right side of the yellow line and I made it though!
I have driven 8 times across various parts of vast land masses in a Uhaul or a Penske ( never did care for Ryder trucks) trailing some car or other. Nothing feels better than having it all with you (and the cat in the car carrier!) and moving along. I hope someday to have a live in RV so I can ALWAYS move when ever I want. that is solid freedom to me. so. . no, motherofhim, I love to 'haul my own load' . . .
