Hi everyone,
My name is Cuthbert and I'm 31 years old. I'm a bit depressed because I have not worked for most of my adult life and don't have a driver's license. Its about time I started out in life. If anyone can help, please message me. Thanks.

Welcome to your Tribe
Being dyspraxic/neurodivergent can definitely make finding our way in life more challenging. The way you refer to a drivers licence causes me to wonder if your in the USA?
What type of work have you managed to do and what kind of challenges has this brought?

Re: My experience
I feared learning to drive. My first accident was rear-ending the family Torino in a go cart. I learned at 18 in driver's ed (no way I could learn to drive from my parents. First step - find someone you can learn from that wont stress you out.)
Also, for me I play a ton of racing video games. Especially from 'behind the steering wheel' viewpoint. I set the difficulty level low at the start. The Forza games are great cause you can REWIND at anytime. There is a top level NASCAR driver that broke into the sport from playing video games long before he was in a race car.
The top level games are hyper realistic. Im terrible at playing most video games - but the repetition helps.
(The GTA and other open world games are not good to learn to drive since the cars in those games are floaty.)
