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

Jamie

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? 

Parents

  • nah, id live off it...


     if its around 1 million id just live my basic life off it.


    if its around 10 million id upgrade my life buy a place in a nice area, buy my parents a place in their desired area and allow for them to retire.

    basically based on the amount im obviously gonna put myself first, then those closest to me... then if its a obscene amount of money then yeah i might find ways to helping others, not entirely sure how or who... i dont think id wanna target one group though id want to help everyone i can that i feel deserves or needs it if i had enough to start helping others. maybe buy flat blocks and make them free with no rent or expenses for anyone and make it so people can have a right to a free roof over their head and break this exploitative property system. that would probably be one of the big things to help society in total.
