The Pulse Voices of Autism

Hey everyone and welcome back to The Pulse! We’re reaching the end of the winter holidays and we thought we would discuss social expectations. We all had very different experiences in 2022 and now that we are approaching Valentine’s day we wanted to share some of our stories and some tips to enjoy the holidays with minimal stress.

Did you have driver’s education classes in secondary school? 

One of our listeners requested that we chat about learning to drive in school. While we didn’t have access to driver’s education through school, we have a few ideas we wanted to discuss today. Today we’ll talk about driver’s education in high school; the motivation to drive; the basics of getting your license and the ways in which we use our driving skills.   Do you drive? Why or why not? And do you think driving lessons should be a part of post secondary education? Let us know in the comments and always, if you have other ideas for us or if you want to be a guest on the show, send an email to voa@pacificautismfamily.com. We look forward to more of your great questions. Thanks for joining us. Don’t forget to like, share and subscribe.
