So i have autism and im 20 but yet im not sure where to go in life and parents dont really know what to do with me. Im bored and depressed way too much, i feel like i need a outlet or a way to express my possible ideas but im unsure how. Im considering gamedev or working my way up to make games but are there any other things to do alongside? what do you enjoy doing?

What are you good at and what do you like doing? If you have a mind for logic and systems then programming is an endless source of puzzles to solve. If you like working with your hands, metalwork or woodwork. If you appreciate beauty, arts and crafts. If you are very physical, sports. If you don't know, try them all.
