I'm here to tell you that the deathbox can be conquered! I don't have ADHD, but I was terrified of learning to drive for years because of anxiety. I had to take my driver's test three times before I passed (mostly because of the parallel parking test -- I never parallel park) but I can get from town to town without killing anyone. People learn to drive who have all kinds of issues with driving.

It's a good primary goal and I think you can do it.

This! I didn't get my license until I was 21, and - while managed to pass on my second try - I think it was partially out of pity (my examiner gave me the lowest score I needed to pass). And I totally bombed the parallel parking bit out of anxiety and whatnot, so it is possible to pass without it!

When I was starting out, I'd always repeat in my head, "Every other car doesn't want to hit me, just as much as I don't want to hit them."

I found it worked best in baby steps. Daytime low traffic suburban streets and straight/right turns only first. Then I conquered nighttime driving. Then I conquered left hand turns. Then I conquered the freeway. Then I conquered listening to the radio as I drove/talking to passengers/etc.

ETA: I should say I still haven't conquered city driving. I will do everything I can to avoid driving/parking in a city.

Funny story, I was scared of parallel parking, but they didn't ask me to do it on the test. I'm still horrible at it, even though I'm a pretty good driver overall. I avoid it whenever I can.
