Driving can be therapeutic in a way that’s hard to describe. I could find some sort of satisfaction driving almost anything; bus, forklift, riding mower, Zamboni… something about steering a machine around a space just scratches the itch. It helps if you have the right vehicle and a manual transmission to maximize the stimming potential.

I wouldnt impose this on all of society, but I’m sure there are others like this, that’s why so many people dream of being a bus driver

Same reason I love sailing at night. Just pure nothing but the view.

I recently started working out heel toe shifting and it's super fun.

Especially the person who would rather watch tiktok videos instead of focusing on driving their Kia Telluride or whatever
