Thank you for your answer Iam going to see the neurologist and ask for his advice, I know when there happening, I need to think of my safety and other people

I see where you are coming from kinda, I was diagnosed with my condition at 7, and got my driver's license at 17 or 18 , but after the time I did get my license for driving no one brought up my condition I have had since all the doctors and the other people who knew I had it, what I found weird about it, was nobody asking about how I got around via transportation and such, after 2011 I did get into a accident and I was a acquaintance with me, no one got hurt, I thank God for that not happening, I also had another one I also believe or after, I don't remember, but when I did get my court papers for my disability was approved by the court the 2 nd time, I did give up my driver's license and privileges, I been with out it and don't really miss having it anymore, I don't want to be responsible for some ones life or my own, my opinion here,
