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 actually did come into a large and life changing sum of money in 2019 on my mum’s passing. I may have had ideals about charitable giving prior to it actually happening but the reality has been different. Firstly I bought a house outright in exactly the place I wanted to live, I spent maybe £25k refurbishing it, invested in original art and collectibles to display within it then saved the rest as a guard against future catastrophe, wise as it turns out given the escalation of the cost of everything.
