Idk if I'm autistic, but I do identify with this post to a surprising degree. My solution was quitting my job and working on projects hoping that one of them will take off. I've talked about it here on HN many times and a lot of people have reached out. I've convinced two of my friends to do the same and they've never been happier.

It's viable, you might need to scale down your life-style a bit but I've never been happier.

Programming on things you care about is a lot easier if you have a lot of time.
