Do you think I should focus on Python before JS?
I have a done a lot of technical computer things (minus coding) and its definitely interesting to me. I dont think I would like a high pressure FAANG type job but I think there is definitely a niche out there for me. Specifically writing programs for ideas I have or using python to do research/data science type stuff. I know I would like trade school but cant physically handle it.

What would you do if you were me? Coding bootcamp question

Relevant context: I'm 28, live near [redacted], I'm single, have no degree (dropped out 40% through a non stem degree), have been unemployed since December 2019, and have little coding experience. I have a serious disc injury in my back which limits the type of jobs I can work. I'm also autistic and do much better with technical things then customer focused. I'm totally ok working in a team...
