If you never learn to drive, there is no shame in that, either. Some of us with neuropsych disorders aren't meant to drive. I'm one of them. Due to my NVLD and visual-spatial deficits, I figured out that it just was entirely too scary to learn to drive. I have difficulty with left/right, judging distances and speed, etc. Even if I practiced and practiced until I could operate a car, every drive will be different and unpredictable because of the other drivers on the road. Combine this with my need for routine/hatred of change and the fact that I have social deficits that are necessary for interpreting other drivers' actions, and I figured out that it's just not safe for me to drive. And it scares the living daylights out of me.
My mother wanted me to learn before I went to college, so I took a driver's ed course. I did two lessons, never even made it out of the parking lot, and I had a giant meltdown. It's just not going to happen. But that's what public transportation is for.
