Driving is still a skill and you can learn it like any other, although maybe you are just too bad to have a chance. But I know exactly what you mean, and I did get better through sheer practice. Your brain due to synaptic plasticity does learn to process the information, just far slower because of autism.
When I first started driving I couldn't even drive in a straight line properly, I was constantly veering and adjusting and it used to drive my instructor mental because I was still doing it 15-20 lessons in (most people pass by lesson 20). I'd be randomly distracted by a passenger on the pavement (I have to obsessively people watch when walking down the high street, registering each and every persons face as I pass by).
Were you learning manual or automatic gearbox?
