Let's say I fit the neurodivergent stereotype, and this sentence especially fits most of my attempted careers down to a T - "I ended up concluding that I didn't have the communication skills needed to do X".

At times (I feel like) I am a great communicator, the other times I can see people thinking I'm damn slow, and most of the time it's bimodal like that.

I am almost 36 as well, never finished a damn thing in my adult life.
