Since the combo comes with its own set of challenges, this shall be a place to ask for advice, vent, infodump about special interests and/or just vibe and meme.

I know it's hyperbole, but reading that was actually more inspiring than anything ever said to me by a neurotypical trying to motivate me.
I'll add another quip:
"Watch me swindle my way up an IT-career using nothing but my brain, a search engine and the power of spite."
I felt this in my soul. I work in IT and I can describe my job 3/4 of the time as "professional googler."
