Like i want to do something where i am my own boss, i make my own time. Im just not sure how possible something like that would be or if its a good idea, Im even sure what i could do to be self employed. I tend to dream big and this may be one of those dreams. I just feel limited on what i can do, Like im too afraid to drive and im stuck at home because i have to look after parents and such. I dont even know how to make a actual resume.

If you are autistic, you will find it almost impossible to work for someone else because you will see things clearly and you will speak your mind, and corporations typically don't appreciate any of that.

Working for yourself is the only way you can find true liberation where you can chase your dreams and what you think is right with all your might like a mad scientist.

Business is super hard too, but if you want to live a life of no regrets and maybe have a chance of finding your purpose, you must follow your heart and chase it though fire if you have to.
