I dropped out of school many years ago. For some reason I am now wanting to try to make up for all the lost knowledge I missed out on.
How difficult will it be due to lack of neuroplasticity like children have, and what subject(s) should I focus on and begin with?
I'm a NEET so I have all the free time in the world, and I'm tired of being a brainlet.

Neuroplasticity only matters at ages before 6. After that learning is the same across ages save for senility. Don't use being older as an excuse not to go back to school otherwise you'll be putting off your revelation by another few years and you'll hate your younger self for it. Go to community college, start slow, accelerate once you get the hang of it.

i'd advise you to study the textbooks that you can find on the /sci/ wiki linked by the sticks
my favorites are here
chemistry: chemistry the central science
calculus: stewart's, thomas'
physics: halliday's
(i will die by these)
if you're not very bright or if you've got zero fundamentals i'd suggest you use khan academy, it's got a very bottom-up approach with frequent practice that i think will suit newbs like you very well

when you learn you activate neuroplasticity
i would jump straight to university level subjects on whatever you fancy learning about.Remember a lot of what makes you an expert on a subject is not knowing the broad strokes but learning about minor exceptions to rules and also being able to apply learning in real life situations.

you missed nothing, get a specified textbook for whatever niche specialty you want as a hobby

You'll actually learn much faster now you're presumably less retarded and actually know what you want to study.

Depends. Are you trying to prove something to yourself or are you operating purely out of curiosity and interest? This will have a significant impact on your level of growth and development.
