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.

    Just to put the dot back at the horizon, you can have a “normal” job. If you can find something you like and can (hyper) focus on it’s details you can excel at it.

    I’ve been going into electronics, and I make the same as my partner does. The hardest part of my job for me is the social aspect, but the machines at least don’t need to be talked to. Being a man of rules and details comes in verry handy for programming and such too.

    Another thing to note is that the generally noted “smartest” people in history most likely had a form of autism. It can of course not be proven, but they where hyper focused in the area they are known for. But dint know or where bad at other ‘simpler’ areas.

    To come back to your question of making money at home, I would personally go into 3D printing or so. It’s rewarding, lots to learn, and there is still room to make a buck

    Make sure to check about SSI rules before doing anything btw
