[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son and I have inattentive ADHD, low processing speed and anxiety. While my ADHD is mild and unmedicated, and I learned to drive after many, many hours of lessons, my son needs Adderall during his driving lessons. It makes him more focused. For myself, the day I got a GPS was the day I could drive without debilitating fear - just manageable levels of fear :-) I was so anxious at memorizing the way on a map prior to starting to drive, since my ADHD and low processing speed means I can't just glance at a map while driving, and my sense of direction is terrible. Getting on and off the interstates were so stressful before the GPS years! Now I've been driving for 20 years and feel confident.

Same poster who responded before. Was in AZ recently and missed an exit and ended up in Phoenix. Panicked a little but having the GPS tell me how to get back on the highway gave me the peace of mind to check out my surroundings and see that I was OK where I was. It gave me the time to breathe, not panic. You are right when you say these devices help with confidence.[/quote]
