If you came into a lot of money, how would you invest it to help the autistic community?

Someone mentioned on here not long ago for there to be an emergency chat thingy for those of us who aren't comfortable speaking on the phone when in need. That seems like a good idea to me as calling someone when i needed help would be the last thing i'd do. 

I'd also look into starting a business that utilizes the skills and abilities of autistic people, a bit like Unicus which is a software company that only employs autistic people:

Another thing would be to help more on the education side with perhaps paid speakers to share their personal stories of living with autism 

What would you do?

    I think that Covid has changed our world in so many ways and has opened our eyes to so many things, especially during lockdowns - living alone in the U.K. and at a time like that, wanting to be able to travel home to family in Ireland (not those who are not supportive, obviously) yet not being able to do so because of travel and other restrictions proved very difficult like a “dark night of the soul”
