This may be dueto discomfort going out in crowded public places, such as a subwaystation, or to not knowing how to navigate from place to place. Driving,riding the bus or train, walking, biking, and flying can bring about anxietyand stress because of the loud noises and crowds, unpredictable schedulechanges, late or missed bus or subway, getting lost, or mobility issues. Inaddition, in many communities public transportation is limited, whichcreates added difficulty. Because of the stress that transportation options,or lack of transportation options, can create for those with autism,individuals may be limited in the number of times they leave their homesthus preventing them from getting jobs, living independently, ordeveloping and maintaining a social life.  \nMany individuals with autism delay in obtaining their driver’s license andmany never drive on their own.
