Long story short, it has been my 3rd time trying to graduate from college. How to find real strengths (aptitude that we can't change much)? Just want life to be easier. Thank you.

p.s. w Autism.

Dude I'm almost 45 years old and the closest thing to a career I've been able to find is extensive treatment for my lifelong mental illness. And I mean lifelong, no 7 year old or should have to deal with suicidal ideation.

The point is, it's fine to be and adult and still have no idea what you want to be when you grow up. Sometimes the best you can do is just scrape by, but hey, it's something.
