So one thing I do hate about adult life is how boring it gets. It's very reppretive and half the time you feel like your in limbo. TV sucks new music sucks politics sucks religion sucks gaming sucks Christmas and birthdays sucks the older you get even football gets boring after you've been to like 5 matches. Wieredly though I've found the only thing these days that brings me pleasure is either stuff that scares me or brings me an adrenaline rush or physical pain. Which sure may make me sound crazy to some but when life gets boring to the point of beyond belief that's all that seems left. All I'm saving for now are tattoos as I have the majority of meterlistic items I need so now and I've exceled at my hobby so now I'm turning my body into art. Looking into taking up boxing too. And looking forward to hiking bit since covid everything's just been ***.
I bet you have an imagination you can utilise? Implement ideas, make dull things fun by exploring alternative ways of doing them, find the sub-text of life. It's hard when you don't feel inspired I know, but to find the motivation you need to try some new things you don't normally push yourself to try. I once worked a job in a factory making fridges, for months. The most boring job ever, but I made it fun by imagining different things I could do later... this led to me becoming an artist. There is no part of life that need be boring, as you hold the keys to your mind if you choose to make it fun you can turn it around. Good luck :)
I'd take that over washing dishes any day I like puzzle solving stuff like if I had of done better at school I'd of liked to of done something like engineering or something hands on and practical my only downside is whislt I'm ok with practical tasks I'm not very good with the theatrical tasks.
With those skills, you could run your own Room Escape business, erm, be UX Designer/Researcher, erm, help run workshops for other autistic adults? I dunno, a few thoughts... but you will definitely have skills you can put to good use. Good idea is to approach 3/4 people that work in an area you might find interesting, send them an email, dream big and give it a go. Often people are willing to help others get ahead in their life if you just reach out and ask, good luck
