[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a terrible driver and two of my kids are also because we are on the autism spectrum and really struggle to predict what other drivers will do on the road. I can’t tell if someone is about to slow down or speed up, is going to cut in front of me, is going to let me pass him etc. No idea how the rest of you do that. 
If I lived in a big city with great public transport I probably wouldn’t drive but in America that’s pretty uncommon. My daughter feels the same way. I wish I didn’t have to drive. [/quote]

I don't think you can blame this on autism at all. This sounds like you aren't a good driver and didn't teach your kid well either. [/quote]
I have 10 acquaintances and family members with ASD. Not seeing ahead or making connections is very evident. It's like they have blinders on. Everything is like in a different box. 
When I see a car speed as I drive and later see a car pulled over, I know it's the same car most likely and it usually is. My ASd relatives wouldn't have even noticed a speeding car. They'd be wondering why the car got pulled over. 
It's like that with everything including losing job, or not finding a job, or why they are broke. They have no idea why.
They don't see reasons or consequences.
