Hey im a 20 year old living with parents, most of you possibly dident know this but i have autism and dyslexia.

Im not allowed to jet a real job because parents dont want me having one and i dont have any means of getting to a job. For some reason im hyperfocused on wanting to make money online and im not quite sure why that is? Ive tried things like surveys but soon found out there worse than slave labor.

I do have ssi but most of it has to go towards my parents, i also heard getting income effects ssi income.

Idk, what would you advise? yes i know i need a hobby aswell in-which i am trying to explore more hobbys.

    I might recommend a trade fair. Sometimes becoming a tradesman means having to learn on the job for free, so this could be a good opportunity. I would still recommend going through a school first, but for people like us it is less of a hurdle if you’re interested in said trade.

    If you’re a very cerebral person, then it may not be challenging enough once you learned the ropes, but that’s a “tomorrow you” problem.

    If you want to work from home, programming tends to be a possibility, but it’s entry hurdle is getting higher.

    Anyhow, I hope you find something that gives you freedom and happiness, and whenever things take an ugly turn, remember you took that first step.

    Best luck and fair winds!

      Because OP is on SSI, as was clearly stated, they can’t even get a job, a real one at that. Plus, on top of that, maybe a trade isn’t for them.

      On top of that, another commenter had a thought that OP’s parents were exploiting the individual.
