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?
