Since all I ever seem to do is make others angry and / or dislike me, I'd have to say the social stuff limits me most.

I think I'm affected in all areas, but if I am to pick one, then it will be relating to other people (social awkwardness).

Extreme social awkwardness has been isolating me all my life. I've always felt like an outcast wherever I was. I also couldn't handle job interviews and I have a job well below my intellectual level.

Probably poor executive function has also affected my job hunting etc, too.

I have had conflicts with people because of music/noise issues.

I can't drive a car. I've always wondered why other people do it so comfortably, but I find it almost impossible. Not being able to drive has significantly limited the choices of jobs that I can get, too. I also cannot visit people because of lack of transport.
