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.
