I’m pretty damn good at understanding the ways in which computers work in very intricate ways, both in the physical hardware as well as understanding the software. I could program better than almost everyone in my pretty large software development class (this was months ago tho, I graduated from high school recently), with 500 or so lines of python for a line-by-line CSV reader complete with text commands, theming options, window decoration settings, an almost perfect UX for the use case, etc. (I did however have issues with allowing CSVs to interact with the program after compiling it with an install script file.)

What I am absolutely hopeless in however, is tying my shoes, understanding when I’m hungry/thirsty/tired/etc, and I struggle when speaking unless I spend hours of my day scripting theoretical scenarios, which also includes in text form. I was also terrible in English and mathematics in every year of school, not due to “not wanting to learn” but it was just since half the time they were excruciatingly slow and boring, and the other half of the time they were so difficult to understand since it was also going too fast and I was under excessive pressure.
