#Autism and #financialliteracy : A Thread.

Financial independence is key to happiness and reducing stress. I've learnt a lot from my mistakes, how my behaviour and communication issues has affected my finances. (Accountancy grad, too)

Here is an experience + announcement.

@ForzaHorizon so excited about #FH5 and gifting, but how about having a friendship levelling system so you can gift direct to friends?

@benking01 Agree with that! But my experience was also incompetence and passing of responsibility. Without fail, every year, our timetables were 2-3 weeks late and would change with no notice. I think @OpenUniversity is going to be the way to go in the future.

[The Autistic Paradox @ParadoxAutistic]

@baumard_nicolas Woah. Way to discriminate against autistic and other ND people.

[The Autistic Paradox @ParadoxAutistic]

@benking01 It just goes to show how poorly run universities are. 6 years at Uni and never had the right timetables/tutor time/resources, etc. Can’t imagine how awful it is now with Covid on top. An absolute disgrace.

Join Second Hand September and pledge to shop second hand for 30 days or more. You’ll give clothes a longer life by keeping them from landfill. And by shopping with Mind, you’ll be reinvesting your money into helping the 1 in 4 of us that need it.

Any views/RTs much appreciated! It feels so good to have a clear out and send some lovely clothes to people who will enjoy them #recycle #reuse #SecondHandSeptember

Raising some money after being made redundant (<2yrs so no pay out). Lots of BNWT goth/alt items and more adding in the next few weeks! Low starting prices and all sent 1st class 💚 #ebay

Social gatherings of over 6 people to be banned. Bold of Boris to think I have more than 6 friends 🤣

Need advice with moving out and renting for the first time and being #ActuallyAutistic 😬 #adulting

[the dizzy dancin way u feel @lilacnonsense]

Going to sleep if you’re an adult that has hyperactivity, is similar to when a small child keeps getting out of bed with excuses and their grown-up has to keep sending them back, but you’re both the grown-up and the small child.

@jamieoliver were you aware of this? 🤔

[The Autistic Paradox @ParadoxAutistic]

Starting a YouTube channel about Autism and Life, mainly as I find it difficult to find YT’ers that I relate to. #actuallyautistic #YouTube

@the_tweedy @Asher_Wolf MH Crisis line :
"why don't you watch a funny film?"
"sounds like you just need to stay away from people"

@steve_asbell Colourful hair, and a bit of a 70s thing going on 💚

[Erin Ekins (she/her) @QueerlyAutistic]

I've come to the conclusion that the sole purpose of homework is to condition children into accepting that unpaid overtime and ridiculous hours and not even being able to escape work even in your own home are a normal things to expect in their future.
