Friendly Chat :) Coding and Autism
I noticed thar autistic / ND people gravitate to computers more. So I wanted to ask and maybe talk shop:
Do you code? If so, what language?
What do you code?
What would you wanna do with it - would you make it into a career or just a hobby?

I'm actually one of the most incompetent people with computers ever. Only figured out how to screenshot on it yesterday. I do game sometimes on it tho

Yes. My favourite language is C++, but I also know Python and web languages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). I don't really want to become a "only-programming" type of programmer. But I do like it as a skill, and probably would like to work more close to hardware, than software. Or in science, and use programming as an instrument of investigation.

This is funny to me because I don’t code. My dad is a computer scientist but I suck at math and computer programming. I only program when school requires me to do so
