Oh yeah, diagnosing and fixing electronics is really easy (and fun) for me, and I do it as a day job. I lag behind "easy" adult tasks all the time though, like making appointments, following them, etc. And/or I do them with great anxiety. I don't feel apt to be an adult in our society...

It takes me forever to write just a simple email, but if I have a task related to one of my special interests (plants and tech) I can easily and quickly get it done. There are also certain tasks that are seemingly boring to others that are engaging to me (usually it's stuff that's repetitive).
