Hi everyone just need some support or advice
Basically I've been learning to drive for almost a year and I knew it was gonna be difficult but I think my last lesson hit me with the comment my driving instructor made. In my lesson I did 3 really hard test routes one I've never done before and two it had been a while and for me that's alot trying to remember what to and processing everything whilst being coordinated in changing gears ect and I've been trying to be more independent at judging when to go at roundabouts and there were two incidents where one I should of gone but hesitated and the othet I shouldn't of gone and my driving instructor in can tell she gets frustrated say " sometimes I don't get you and you've done roundabouts so many times " this is meant to be an instructor who help people with austism ect learn to drive but I'm the frist person who she taught with dyspraxia which I will give the benefit of the doubt, but it like it's my dyspraxia and sometimes I can do things really good and sometimes I can't , I can't give a definitive answer on why I do somethings when she ask why and sometimes when I speak outloud or for reaurrance even tho I know it I need double checking and " the comment I get it's like do you really need to ask me ? Because it sound like you don't know ? " which isn't the case it's a way for me to process things and sometimes I do word things wrong. But yesterday at the end of my lesson my driving instructor basically said with my dyspraxia there will be thing she hope I get better at with judgement and processing where she think I won't or it will cause a problem and it just made me feel so low and question everything now and I feel like I've been beating my head on a brick wall for ages as in my frist lesson I was open my dyspraxia and what I think will be challenges for me and it will take me so long to get things right it won't be straight forward . I do feel like she pushed to far sometimes and she even said maybe I've pushed you to far I forget you have dyspraxia and then I when I do have bad lesson she don't get it ? Maybe I'm ovethinking things but I just need some advice / support . Ask any questions if I haven't made myself clear about anything ask I'm terrible at wording things
