[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I told him to get the license first. He can decide whether to drive or not, he will have the option. But he insists he doesn’t want to ..[/quote] My teen was like this. It was anxiety and accurate self-knowledge. He has severe ADHD and knew he was not entirely in control of the vehicle. But we convinced him to get his license anyway, with lots of lessons and hand-holding, in the knowledge that it was better to get it out of the way while he was still at home and we were available to teach him. He has no plans to drive in college, as he's also going to a big city, and he might not ever drive, and certainly never without his meds. He is very aware that he needs more practice, and will not drive without a seasoned adult in the front passenger seat. But it's an accomplishment that he is proud of achieving, given his situation, and one administrative task out of the way.[/quote]
