Overcoming Driving Anxiety After an Accident: My Honest Struggle

Driving has always been tough for me, especially with high-functioning autism and anxiety. After a scary accident last winter, my fear of driving got way worse. Even familiar routes make me shaky, and highways are out of the question. I’ve been spending a ton on Uber just to get to work, but I know I can’t keep this up forever. One thing that’s helped a bit is driving with a trusted friend during quieter hours. It’s not a quick fix, but having support in the car makes it less overwhelming. I’m still looking for affordable options in Salt Lake City—if anyone has tips or similar experiences, please share below!
