| There are loads of free courses on MOOCs like Coursera, EdX, Udacity, etc. You could follow the full-stack web dev nanocert at Udacity for some structure. You can take all the courses for free. I'm not convinced paying for the piece of paper is worth it. I always take the free version. |

| PHP, Ruby, and Java are all 22 years old and Python 26. Python is a great place to start. These days it wouldn't hurt to look at JavaScript - node.js for server side. I don't mind PHP, and PHP 7 has some big improvements. If you do PHP, look at some frameworks like Laravel and Symfony. I like Flask ... |

| An analogy I read once about autism an anxiety was how someone who is on spectrum is like a cup 3/4 full, while an NT's cup may only be 1/4 full. So it takes a lot less to overflow the cup that's already 3/4. I have no idea if that made any sense. Quite common for autistic to have a higher base leve... |

| I take meds for comorbid conditions that were actually diagnosed before I was DX'd with autism. First DX was depression, second was anxiety. I take Wellbutrin, Fluoxetine (Prozac), and Alprazolam (Xanax) as needed. We try and keep dosages as low as possible - enough that I can function but not so mu... |

Generally this is a good thing - I avoid crowed, noisy restaurants so I won't have sensory overload, etc. Bu... |

| I'm a mobile developer, so I use both Apple and Android. iPhone has been my main device for years, but I'm considering switching to Android for my main personal device. As a developer, I much prefer Android. |
