I am F21 self diagnosed autistic, and I hate driving. I have had my learner’s permit for about 5 years but I stopped driving around 3 years ago because of an accident. I was a passenger of a vehicle that rear ended another at 70km/hr and I cannot get the impact feeling out of my head, so whenever I’m in a car I can get very anxious. Despite all of this I have always dreamed of living on a little farm and I am now terrified that my fear will basically ruin my life. My special interest has always been horses and without the ability to drive I haven’t been able to be around them in a long time, it physically hurts to be away from them and I don’t want to live without my joy forever.

If anyone has experience with other forms of transportation or places to live that accept horses as transportation I would be very very grateful. I keep trying to plan for the future but driving seems to be a big issue. I’m in Canada if that helps!

TLDR: I am terrified of driving but I want to live in a rural area where it seems to be a requirement. Any other options are very much appreciated 🧡
