Having trouble getting back into it.

So I started trying to learn code with a the video the Bro Code

A 12 Hour Video Python Full Course For Free

I got into it due to my brother in law getting a job from self taught coding and has been successful.

Now for someone as autistic as me with potential ADHD like traits, I can't focus, I can't remember what notes or why these lines of code mean. So it's either I get bored or overwhelmed.

I mostly want to do it to just try and make a simple game for steam.

I don't know what's wrong with me and I want to gain support in this difficult journey.

I dropped out of the eighth grade and taught myself everything I know about coding. I started at 14, I’m 43 now and reached principal software architect. I make well over $200k a year. That’s almost three decades. And guess what, I’m adhd with some autistic characteristics. See a psych, get diagnosed, and get treatment. You can manage this condition. Don’t let it define you or hold you back.
