So much of the time the quals are a wish list and impractical. Seriously, I saw a post once for a job like mine....the person needed 40 years experience combined across like 4 job roles, publications, and walk on water while developing business strategies....I showed it to my boss at the time and she's like, yeah they won't get that person, it's a wish list.
Besides, it was clearly not your job. You'll know your job when it knocks you over and licks you all over like a puppy. Don't forget that you're interviewing them.
Job searches are hard even when for folks that are neurotypical. So you're doing hard stuff, and this is normal. Keep your chin up.
