I'm not from the Bay Area (I'm in Illinois actually), but I've been dealing with this condition for a number of years, so I understand what you're going through. If you ever need someone to talk to, don't be afraid to reach out to me. This condition doesn't only do a number on your body, but also it breaks you don't mentally from people's reactions to you. I'll be starting cdl school soon, and am thinking about being a long distance driver. Maybe we can meet up sometime.
I know this is a patm forum but just wanted your opinion on how i should go about figuring out if i like front end, backend, or full stack development. I am pretty new to programming but i solved https://leetcode.com/problems/max-points-on-a-line/ in my first month of self taught programming so i dont know if thats any indication of how good i am.
