Most people feel that way to some degree at your age. It’s compounded by ASD, though, because others truly are gaining ground while we spin our wheels.
That happened to me on repeat for the entirety of my 20’s. At 29 my life was f****d right into the ground.
BUT, that’s when I figured out what was causing my symptoms to go haywire and how to treat it. At 36 now, I still feel WAY behind my peers in so many ways.. however, I have to acknowledge that I’ve changed and grown immensely over the last 6 years or so and have in fact made up a Lot of ground in personal record time. My peers have had 36 good years to accomplish what they have & ive only had 6. Achievements/time, I’m blowing them out of the water & have my sights set on much bigger long term goals.
This isn’t specifically directed at just you, Kip, but: From my perspective, so many here on these forums want better, but so few are willing to do the work required to get it. So most will continue spinning their wheels, going nowhere, and complaining about it here. That probably sounds rather rude of me, but I call ‘em like I see ‘em. I do hope you don’t get stuck in that rut.
i may disagree with you at times, fishy, but i always appreciate how you (seemingly) have others best interest at mind at all times. thank you for your comment.
i have been in a pretty personal rut this year (girl) and i've taken steps towards getting out of it. it's not that i'm reluctant to help myself, it's more that i have a lot of trouble finding out what the best steps are towards achieving a better posiotion in life, and i seek help here as a result.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but if you spent more time practising your art rather than online, you'd develop skills the skills you need to succeed more quickly and efficiently. I say this because I too wasted most of adolescence on the internet constantly complaining that I wasn't where I wanted to be. After several years' hiatus (more or less), I've developed skills and knowledge at a rate I hadn't previously thought possible.
The important thing is self discipline, something which our generation missed out on being taught (due to the ridiculous Marxist educational theories that became fashionable when our parents were our age). An extensive body of psychological research has determined, however, that after intelligence itself, the most important thing for success is willpower.
you don't sound harsh to me.
i practice art for hours every day. i'm getting there.
i do believe that unwavering willpower is a very important ability to have - i'd like to beleive that i have a good amount of it.

I “grew up” in the ‘70’s. Believe me, it wasn’t worth it.
Anyhoo, have you ever considered becoming a commercial artist?
i have. i'd like to be able to do art digitally first though. i may be more prolific that way, and i have access to more tools and abilities...
i'm not sure i'd want to make it a career though.
