Seriously, yoga.

Martial arts.

Painting. Crafts. Working on cars, bicycles, motorcycles, skateboarding.

These all have something in common: each has a goal, but these are individual pursuits. They require and reward focus, and succumbing to distractions will be obvious because progress will suffer.

I went down the music track around that age, and it was the gateway into daily routine, meditation, delayed gratification and a community similar to software (at least back in the day) that understands and embraces neurodivergence. It's now this life-long cornerstone that brings me deep joy and stability when things are too hard. It was probably one of the first places where I really felt seen by adults and found peers that got me.

Music! I missed that one, but yes, I think it fits right in.

I'm glad it has served you well.
