the most bang of bag XP wise and legendary/hour is doing GRs over 90 in under 3 minutes. But OP’s issue is getting to that point. If mats are an issue you’re far better off doing bounties and visions.

A lot of the drops, drop numbers and drop rates are more or less fixed relative to torment levels. Then the number of some things can be increased like getting double amounts of death breaths, gems (diamonds, rubies etc.) and a chance for extra keystones all according to what gear you or your follower have on or what you have unlocked in the Altar.

This is usually true. But if a player can’t speed run something like GR 90+ then bounties on T16 (or maybe even lower) can be okay both because of the caches and the visions that will appear.
Purely vision farming in the best maps is likely better and leaving and starting new games again and again.

I have some of the same challenges as you mentally and physically: Autism, ADHD, TBI (although mine was from surgery for brain cancer). One of the side effects of the surgery is the loss of use of my side; although it is getting better because it’s now just the hand that doesn’t function fully (but it’s getting better) and it’s my dominant hand. I do understand the difficulties when playing as I have to have a multi button mouse.
I rarely missed a season before 5 years ago and have only played the last two (or three) seasons. D3 is one of very few games I can play and enjoy. I don’t play excessive hours, and I run every reality tear I find, have completed the altar (mostly through sheer luck and determination for the solo rifts - those things are murder!) but I also have a fiance and a friend who helps some because I inevitably fall behind them.
I rarely get primals and I know it is expressly due to RNGeebus. Blizzard changing the percentage of drops won’t really help. And the mats running out? I run out of Death Breaths, Forgotten Souls, and the yellow ones all the time and then I have to farm them all over again. I think last season it took weeks of farming to get the Funerary Pick for the Death Nova Necromancer build. The season before I got it right away and my fiance took weeks and he plays more often than me.
More importantly, rather than focusing on what you can’t get or complete, relax and have fun. If your friends play, form a group and play with them. It’s a lot more fun that way.
Good luck and may RNGeebus favor you.

Don’t forget that Sage’s set (like 2 pieces and RoRG on follower) doubles the amount of dbs and that there is a conversion recipe in the cube for yellow, blue and whites.

To piggy-back on that, I have Schizophrenia. Just putting it out there to scare the normies haha.
I am able to play the game well but I often deal with several false beliefs while gaming, and actually in daily tasks IRL too.
(.) The devs are watching me play and hand pick my drops etc.
(.) I’m in a simulation and everyone is in-on it but me
(.) Every decision is life and death IRL for menial tasks, such as hearing a voice when I decide to do an activity such as -run Act 1 bounties for RoRG- the voice says “you’ll die”.
Delusions such as these often make me feel confused 
But I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia in 2012 and actually that’s the year Diablo 3 released, so it was there for me during my hardest times.
My roommates at my Adult Foster Care all have their own mixed grab bag. Such as Autistic or ADHD or Epilepsy.
To anybody wondering, us Neurodivergent individuals are pretty cool, and as adults we learn a lot and we’re people looking back at you behind our eyes. And I personally have a lot of time on my hands which Diablo 3 definitely rewards time played. I guess having free time is part of why I’m so good at Diablo 3.
Anyway yeah just replying to scare the normies haha.

Same here, my dude. Thankfully I’m rather high functioning, as long as I’m on my meds (but we all know how that goes, heh).
I feel like sometimes we’re given a bad rap because of how media sometimes portrays us (ie, Psycho or Red Dragon). But if someone takes the time to get to know us, I don’t think most of us are truly violent people. We just process reality differently because our brains are weird 
I hear ya on the delusions thing. What’s helped me is I have a very close friend I can trust to be my “totem” and keep me grounded. So like, I’ll text him and he’ll respond “no, McDonald’s isn’t trying to poison you just because they left an extra pickle on there.” Stuff like that.

Almost all forms of psychosis are villainized by media. It doesn’t mean someone is Ted Bundy.
FYI, pickles are good
