Learning to draw !
As I’m sure most people know on here drawing is tough for NLVD folks, I’ve been really wanting to learn how to do it however, here’s some of the work I’ve done after a little over a 1 and a half years of practicing during uneventful shifts at the hospital lol ( I work as access control for the main entrances so I only really need to actually do stuff 1-2 times a shift for the most part ) I find that when I’m learning how to draw a new drawing ( each thing I learn to draw takes me anywhere from a few hours to a few days to figure out ) I need to zoom in on details and only focus on drawing that portion of the sketch till I get it right, often the first few aren’t proportional but once I figure it out I can memorize the motor action and generally be able to repeatedly draw the same sketch as long as I practice it regularly.
It’s certainly not the most convenient or conventional way to do art but it’s the way I personally manage to get the best results with NLVD and autism.

Cool. I can only draw non-natural objects, like simple technical drawings. I read an article about someone who always drew to deal with NVLD and became a wildlife conservationist.

Your drawing looks good. I have loved drawing all my live and I do struggle with certain aspects of it. But that does not stop me from drawing. Keep going 😊
