Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Yes there are things you'll can do from home. Many of the news outlets have staff writer positions you can get. Basically you get information from multiple sources on a subject and write something about it.
You could write a book. You could sell stuff you have sitting around and eventually buy Amazon return pallets locally (many areas have Facebook marketplace pages so just for this.) You could live stream gaming and see if you build an audience and get some Patreon subscribers. You could do freelance graphic art stuff. You could learn to knit, crochet, or sew and sell stuff you make. You could make yard ornaments or decor, custom footpath pavers, or fountains. You could build dog houses. You could offer to watch security cameras for the neighborhood for a small fee. You could get miniatures and start setting up little scenes that you photograph and offer for sale on Etsy. You could design shirts and offer them for sale online through Etsy.
Having autism doesn't mean you can't do anything but sit around. You may need a little help finding a niche or develop some skills but IMHO there are very few cases where a person can't do anything at all to make a little bit of money.
