Autism

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

You should volunteer. Your desire for money without an associated reason to have or spend it could mean that you actually desire productivity and reward. Volunteer work provides both.

Genuinely, getting SSI is extremely difficult to obtain and extremely easy to lose. I would, before you do anything, find out how much you can earn before you lose it, etc.

You got a special interest?

Make long, overly detailed youtube videos about it.

Chances are, you'll find an audience.

I can't comment on the SSI issue and other people have probably commented about it more, but if I may ask another question:

What job do you want? What barriers do you foresee in the way to getting them?

I can't speak for every nd folk here, but I think a lot of us are employed or have been employed in the past. Once you get past the obnoxious hiring and job seeking process, there's no reason for autism or dyslexia to inherently block you from having a job.

Why won't your parents let you get a job? You're gonna need to be an adult at some point, over sheltering you is just going to hurt you more in the long run.

Get a book called "Discover What You Are Best At." Linda Gail.

It's a series of self tests you can finish in half a day, combined with an index of jobs that use those particular skills. Jobs are separated by how much training you need.

For example, a nurse and a hair dresser both need good people skills and good manual dexterity. Two completely different jobs, but similar skill sets.

There might be a job you've never considered that would be perfect for you.

This is just my perspective, usual grain of salt etc: If your parents don’t want you getting a job, sounds like your parents want the SSI. The threshold for income that makes you lose SSI benefits is absurdly low, and it’s very hard to get back. I’d suggest a hobby to fill your time if that’s the case.

The job market is tanked at the moment. I’d say if you can ride it out on SSI, do it while you can. I know it’s not a lot, but if your family is making it work, I wouldn’t disrupt it for now. Once things improve, you’ll be able to make a ton more money with employment and will have a strong argument for pursuing that avenue. I wish you the best.

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

Ask your parents to explain things like this because you need to understand them.

Often earning a small amount of money results in losing more in benefits, and it will take months/years after you stop working for benefits to go back up once they've gone down.

Everyone's situation is different, but you definitely need to talk to them before and have them explain your specifics

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!

"The Bums lost! Get a job sir!" Big Lewboski reference.

With SSI you do have to watch how much money you can make. You may want to start out volunteering. This can sometimes lead one into a job or career that they are passionate about.

You are 20 years old. Your parents have no say in your future and I would strongly recommend getting a job.

Now we get into my esoteric special interest: numerology.

Really, what you really need to calculate is your Life Path number (use your birthday, and add all the single numbers).

To do this, say we have 1/5/1998, so it'd be 1+5+1+9+9+8=33, but 3+3=6. However, you'll see you, if you have this birth date exactly, have a master number of 33, but I won't get into that right now, as that's off this topic.

Next, you need to calculate what's called an expression number, or a destiny number (same thing).

Write down your full birth name, and let these letters correspond to a number, 1-9:

1 — A, J, S.
2  — B, T, K.
3 — L, C, U.
4 — M, D, V.
5 — N, E, W.
6 — O, F, X.
7 — P, G, Y.
8 — Q, H, Z.
9 — R, I.

Write this out, and then add in the numbers above or below a letter. Afterwords, add those together. For each of your names (given, middle, surname), calculate them separately, and then add the solutions to those together. If there are double digits, add those together to get your destiny number.

Look up this, and go to the corresponding pages for those two in particular, and things like your Soul Urge (Heart's Desire), Attitude, Personality, Birthday, Karmic Debt, and Master Numbers, if any show up. I'd just do the Life Path and Destiny Numbers, since they give you good jobs for this type of personality.

Typically, when you start working, you're going to be given the jobs that (a) are easy to train and (b) nobody wants to do. That means you're going to have to show up in person. If there are any restaurants in walking distance, you could ask them if they need a dishwasher and if they would be willing to pay under the table.

I will tell you, nobody on the internet will be able to give you a solution that perfectly suits your preferences. The structure of the economy is that unskilled workers have to adapt to fit into the slots that are available to be filled. That means going places you don't want to go, doing work you don't want to do, and earning a lot less money than you'd like. Only the kids of the rich start off with jobs they like.

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.

This is the problem you need to fix. It's one thing if you've tried and repeatedly failed, but if your parents don't let you try at all and are forcing you to be dependent on them, that's entering abuse territory.

Can you reason with them? Why do they not let you get a job?
