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.

Seems like some astrology thing

Numerology and astrology are completely different. Numerology uses numbers to make estimates on one's personality and character (both the good and bad). Astrology uses alignments in the planets at certain angles to calculate similar.

Ok but you said birthday (both), karmic debt (is that a number?), soul urge, and life path. Doesn’t seem like strictly numerology to me.

That happened to be part of numerology. These are all different types of numbers, and one can make an inference based upon what someone happened to be named, date of birth, and some different aspects I won't get into at the moment. These numbers determine, with relative success, one's personality.

I see numerology as a set of building blocks to infer one's personality with a modest amount of success. I did this with myself, as I mentioned earlier, and determined that what the estimates were happened to have been accurate based upon the numbers I calculated.
