I believe that everyone is autodidactic in some way.

I thought about this for a few and sadly not much came to mind. I’ll go with this I was always the smallest and weakest of my friends but I learned how to get the most out of myself when competing in most every sport. A little extra effort/hustle went a long way. Mostly it was confidence and a never give up attitude.

I had to teach myself how to cook. I had the Fannie Farmer cookbook, and the Pillsbury Family cookbook to start my learning adventure. I added to that later in life with MORE cookbooks.

I taught myself how to cut and polish rocks and semi-precious stones and found quartz, using my Cab-Mate cutting and polishing machine.

I taught myself how to type quite late in life, using the Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing CD.

I taught myself DOS and learned to use the early computer we bought for my son.

I guess it would be DIY, a little plumbing, laying wooden floors, fitting a kitchen. No lessons but plenty of trial an error.

To ignore relatives and people who are very nosy.
