So i have autsim and dyslexia, also depression and i just feel like a loser who cant do anyhting im trying not to think that way but its hard. i also spend most of my time indoor becasue i dont like going outdoors plus its hot out there.
Ive been wanting to make games or something like that but i litteraly cant code or understand it and ive been reserching game dev for mouths, i also feel like im very limited, like for example my pc is low end or tha tim too scared to drive and idk how to. I just want to do somet hign creative that i can show with others wihtout having to go outside. im kinda nerd but not a very smart one, so theres that.
why must life be soo hard and sad?
Something like drawing or digital painting might appeal to you. Neither require a powerful computer (or even a computer at all if you use physical materials) and are inexpensive to get into.
Another thing I personally like doing is baking! Gives my mind something to do and I get tasty treats at the end that I can have myself or share.

Hey there, sorry to hear you’re struggling.
I was kind of toying around with some of the same interests before I went back to school. Have you thought about web design/development?
It’s easy to get started, and there is near limitless freedom in your ability to create things both from a visual, and front design perspective and a also ton of different programming languages for building apps. You can go full stack and do a bit of everything, or specialize in just about anything (seriously - design/ux, frontend development, backend development, devops, databases, digital maps, digital signage, salesforce, analytics, etc etc).
At the very least, it might act as a gateway to upping your programming skills. Once you get more experienced if you find game development is still something you want to pursue, there is no shortage of javascript-based game engines 🤓
I’ve been doing web development for the past 7 years and I’m still getting my mind blown and learning new things every day. I love it.
Whatever it is you choose to pursue, don’t give up! Keep taking small steps, building small projects, and learning new things. It may not feel like you’re getting everywhere but it’s so satisfying once you start to feel the pieces come together.
You’ve got this.
I would try turning learning into a hobby. Think of all the subjects you want to know about, find people on YouTube who knows about them, and subscribe to them. If you want to know about game design, subscribe to game development and coding channels. There are passionate people covering every topic you can imagine trying to share their love for the subject, if you can find them. The more you learn, the easier it will be, and the more motivated you will be to try things.
If you want there is a community for autism!
You are more than welcome there.
I do cross stitch which is a low barrier to entry IMO
And there are a bunch of nerdy patterns on etsy
You got dealt a bad hand. I can commiserate. One thing I’ve learned about that is to stop blaming myself for everything. It’s not your fault that you struggle with your issues. Try to love yourself as much as possible. Negative thoughts lead to more negative thoughts and eventually to depression.
As for making a game, I think I have a good starting point for you. Take a look at Gameboy Studio. You can make playable games without knowing how to code.
