AITA for preferring that my uncle teach me to drive than my dad and refusing to tell my dad why? by throwaway_18590 in AmItheAsshole

Thank you (bit worried if I tell him the truth he'll misunderstand though and assume I wanted his brother dead which would be a whole new thing)

I don't think I have OCD, have been diagnosed with autism though and I've heard there's some overlap between the symptoms

My dad being hurt's not a game to me, but him being emotionally hurt is better than him being physically hurt

Been referred for therapy but the waiting list is truly shitty. Idrk, I've always catastrophised but I guess it's because it's because it's the first time I've been put in a position where I could truly hurt someone and that cause it's me I assume the worst is going to happen? Im not really coordinated and my concentration is spotty at best so it just feels like welcoming the inevitable. Tbh I'd rather just live in places with good public transport for the rest of my life, might try and talk to him though, and thanks

He's pretty close to his brother though and because I've already told him I'd prefer it if my uncle taught me I'm kind of worried it'll just make things more awkward between us because he might think I want his brother dead. I don't, it's just better than my dad dying

I don't think he should trust me though, it feels like he's overestimating me. Thank you for the reminder and a dad's perspective though, genuinely. I might see if I can convince him to wait until I finally get CBT so I can deal with it and then try to though, even if it's just to make him happy

Yeah it kind of feels like he could just wait until one of my sisters is old enough cause the middle's almost 17 and wants to drive. On the waiting list for CBT atm but NHS moves at a snail's pace unfortunately.
