[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD has slow processing speed too, so I understand. [b]I worry about other life skills too, like driving - especially in this area. You have to think quickly and manage multiple things at once; I worry that my DD won’t be able to manage that - at least, not safely[/b].[/quote]

OP checking back in.  The idea of her driving actually terrifies me, I honestly don't think she can quickly process everything one needs to while driving.  [/quote]

My son has slow processing as well, he is 16 and even though he has his learners permit he isn't very interested in driving. Luckily we live close in so he can walk/metro/ bus to where he needs to go. I was completely stressed out when he started driving but he is a very good driver, he just prefers not too.

You will be impressed with how your daughter will change after puberty, she will continue to have slow processing but she will be able to handle a few more responsibilities due to the repetitive nature of daily living.

I completely agree with the other poster that you should take it six months/one year at a time. We are close to the end of high school and I am flipping out but I do pull back to take a deep breath and realize he may have to follow a non-traditional path. [/quote]
