Hello everyone, i want to tell you a story... my story.

Im a car guy and a motorsport fanatic, i love cars since i was a kid and in some point in my life i wanted to be a racing driver... but unfortunaly my life was not the way i wanted.
At the age of 6, i was diagnosed with Asperger Sindrome, a mental problem that make me a little bit agressive sometimes and have some ear sensitivity, but i was a kid back then and i didnt take notice of that. My passion for four wheels only grow up and my desire for racing was higher than ever but i didnt have a racetrack near me so my expectations for my racing career was going down, at the age of 16, ten years after my diagnosis, i asked for the first time if one day i was able to drive a car like everyone else... the answer was no, i felt heartbroken and i asked why... because of your impulsive reactions and your ear sensitivity when you are driving you could put your life and others peoples lifes in risk, and i sayed ok.. and since then i feel heartbroken and i started to accept my fate, but on 13th of August of 2018 i was on holidays in Algarve and i asked to my family if i can go to a racetrack nearby, my aunt sayed yes and pick me up to the racetrack, my intention was to visit the racetrack but unfortunately was closed for testing, but just besides the racetrack was a karting track, i sayed "its better than notting", after that, my aunt asked to me if i wanna try the karts, i sayed "I dont know, could be dangerous, but i cant see the racetrack, why i cant try the kart track?" and i went to the kart track, i was hyped and smiling like a child when they get a new toy, for my first time in a racetrack, i couldnt asked better... it was an experience that i will never forget, finally i was driving something and i didnt put anyone in risk, even to this day i cry with a smile remembering that experience...

I know its a long text but its worth it to read, even with my problem i can still do what i love and be able to do racing even not competitive and in a controlled situation like a racetrack, i hope you read and let me know in the comments what you think about this.
