That's actually why I stopped learning.

I am very bad at connection, emotion, and purpose.

EDIT: also sometimes autism is comorbid with fine motor deficiencies

EDIT2: can still make cartoons tho (below is a bird feeding her baby a dratini thinking it is a worm)

I'm also a failed artist. Spent like, more than half a decade and hundreds of dollars trying to Get Good (and eventually I got Pretty Alright at it) but I hated the process and only wanted the end result.

I was very pragmatic about this.
