As a parent of an adult with autism, we have to help them a lot I don't mind helping, but it burns my generosity when they continually spend the little money they have on treats on the way from work or other similar things We just gave them 40 for an unplanned expense, and the next day, they told me they went to the convenience store for a treat I want to approach with love, but honestly, this keeps continuing, and I’m getting angry It's why I researched this subject I want to be gentle but firm about the help we will continue giving when these decisions continue

for me i struggle with many issues, a lot of the legal forms used are very vague and confusing causing me to get overwhelmed, on top of that many financial advice given to me is conflicting and nothing is really clear as being able to plan for the future requires not only a great amount of flexibility but also the ability to multitask and deal with hidden context that no one ever really spells out for you Also the value of a dollar is never really clear as things like inflation confuse me I cant even handle going to a bank as the terms confuse me and they spew information at me a mile a minute

I struggle with balancing how to budget and getting everything paid while meeting my daily needs like food 😢 it’s overwhelming and I just shut down because I don’t know what to do

Thanks for making this video! It's so helpful to understand the challenges We recently discovered an autistic relative is in e 30s struggling with money It was revealed only because e was recently scammed on the phone by a person impersonating the police demanding personal banking information I am now helping with budgeting and finding creative ways to help educate I think finances in our day and age can get overwhelming when our mind is wired to constantly want things sad that hard earned money was lost but the silver lining is we now know that help is needed and will try our best to intervene

So … what happens when you don’t have someone to manage for you? Will you ever be able to live independently? What about people who stay in situations that aren’t necessarily supportive just because we can’t manage

Can you link the best budgeting apps please? Really loving this background on issues with financial management Thank you

Last year, I blew $350 USD on clothing and makeup and to this day, I feel guilty about it
Comment from : @blueblousedesigns

I’m 18 and autistic and my parents have decided to send me money in smaller payments every 2 weeks instead of in a bigger payment every month This is because I really struggle with managing money I am getting a social worker for my autism soon though so hopefully they will help me with managing life

the bible really helps with autism because it configures your brain in a way to have a different perspective on life that's easier to manage

I have this problem and it causes me so much stress and anger!

My son lives in his own apt near mine, and though I am his rep payee, and the card is in my name, he has possession of it He pays his bills, but beyond that, spends most of his money on video games and fast food He does save some of it, but when he wanted a gaming laptop, he spent much of his savings on it He does pretty well, all things considered We are working on the concept of saving money for a rainy day

If you have memory problems with how much money you have you could carry cash 💷 to help you keep track of your spendings

Sounds more like ADHD than autism
Comment from : @BipolarCourage

Please, a video about apps to help with money issues!!
Comment from : @thechronicallyillcowgirl

Thank you so much for this video Dan I really struggle with 'Do I need this?' Vs 'Do I want this?' And it's so so so SO hard to save money But that's a good idea running it past someone before you buy it and Im going to start doing that because I think it can really help And a video on budgeting apps would be VERRRRRRY helpful because I need help I don't have to pay bills or anything yet because I still live with my parents but I've got to pay my mum $580 from our trip to Melbourne and it's hard because I'm only getting $153 a month from the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) And between those payments I'm spending money, and it's so hard!!!!!! Do you think you'd be able to do another video on a few more tips for autistic people and money? Like how they can save money etc
Comment from : @caitlinmorrisey

I always feel like spending Bought some things that i want and are still unused now Forget sometimes I have something already and buy it double Things like paying bills on time I definitely have issues with, planning it in of just lay it to the side and forget its there Just had my official diagnosis last week, known it long time but it still hit me hard
Comment from : @andyvandenbossche3414

I’d like to see a video on what apps would help
Comment from : @silvertexan

"Paying for utilities and buying candy" That's my husband (ADD) and I (Aspie)!! LOL Yes, I'd love to see a video about helpful budgeting APPS
Comment from : @jeanlittle405

It especially gets spicy during a cost of living crisis and rising bills too I used to have it mostly together, but the current situation has been an overload

I started keeping tabs on all of our finances through an Excel spreadsheet It helps me tremendously to feel safe and secure and understand what we actually cost, like how much on average for food or children's clothes per month

Comment from : @nicnic1190

Thank you this was really practical and helpful A follow up video on apps that work well for people with autism would be really helpful, especially ones that allow you to set up reminders to actually check balances and statements, as well as manage payments I’m finding that there are loads of apps, but remembering to manage them is an issue I don’t want to overburden the person I’m supporting with too many different apps/techniques – it would be better to just have two or three that are easy to use, and also remind the user to check in regularly
Comment from : @sometimephotographer3479

But putting stuff on Autopay is messing me up big time! I don't remember to cancel stuff brbrI have a gym membership for example that I got in 2019 right before covid lockdown I've NEVER used it brbrBut I can't remember to cancel it!! I mean I've tried calling/ emails and texts BUT they want it in writing THROUGH the snail mail! brbrI finally got an envelope and a stamp But I always forget to write a letter and put the 3 together!???brbrIt's $23 a month so I've paid over $800 to these people for nothing!! I even contacted the corporate offices too! brbrI hate this, I'm going to say I'll do it tomorrow, but I'm sure I'll forget! Wish me luck!
Comment from : @Posmlady

I definitely want to see another video about this money topic

Comment from : @doomiesama4741

Comment from : @Starwolf30

I’d like to see more on budgeting to help my 18 yo grandson who is living with us and I’m homeschooling him I don’t think he has a clue about money, bills,etc

Comment from : @adriataylor7534

Hey I Bigger issue with money is I just don't understand I know when I get my money sometimes my mom and my support worker trys to help me but I just don't understand so can you do the videos on money and apps any advice loving your videos from sara cunningham
Comment from : @saracunningham5657

Good points the biggest is the high unemployment and even higher underemployment When you make less than someone with the same skills budgeting is tough I also lack motor skills mainly large so I am constantly paying for things many people can do themselves
Comment from : @nathanjw940

In Australia we have BPAY which is an automatic bill payment coming out of a bank which is created and controlled by self I have set up for utilities and insurance payments to come out weekly on the day I'm paid It's a form of budgeting
Comment from : @sibertiger1970

Also my motto has always been make sure to save enough money if things were to turn bad so that I would never find myself in financial difficulties
Comment from : @Westly14

Being alone without friends is a big problem No one wants to help It is impossible to do it on your own Being undiagnosed and not having the resources of a base who understands your needs can destroy your life Having had a family who used abuse on you because it was easy to blame you for all their problems The friends you did have physically used you as a slave getting you to pay for everything after convincing you that they are poor and the problems of the world are your fault Boyfriends all turn out to be physically and emotionally abusive too It is very hard to get the resources to pay for a proper diagnosis so you can avail yourself of the state funded support for people with autism
Comment from : @WickedFelina

I'm autistic and a single mum and I struggle with money all the time I don't have anyone to help me
Comment from : @Neongoddess76

when I was in school, they made all special ed kids take budgeting classes only thing I have hard time doing is filling out all the different types of money orders that something I am still working on
Comment from : @Kiddly3000

once I want something or say I'm going to do something I have to do it My mind is constantly thinking about it last weekend I got the idea to put peel and stick tile in my kitchen I was fixated on this I had to go out and buy and install them

Comment from : @turtleanton6539

Hard too tell if your just relaying your ADHD issues mate?
Comment from : @RCSOPXXX

This hit home so hard! Somehow I've never got into debt or forgotten to pay bills, but forgetting how much I've spend and prioritising what I want right now vs what I need/will want in the future is so difficult My family keeps suggesting I practice investing etc and I have to laugh like, do you realise how difficult it is to get the book 1 page 1 of financial management right? Can't be doing with the stock market 😅brbrClose relatives sometimes say 'how do you have so few savings?' or 'surely you should have more money than that?!' and all I can say is ikr I'm at a loss too!
Comment from : @billie_the_birdie

Is this from the ADHD aspects of autism?
Comment from : @yetibigfoot7350

It also let's you take a look at things from the outside and see it for the concept it is that's just been grossly distorted by a financial system gone madly obsessed with unfathomable levels of immaterial and arguably imaginary wealth based on speculationbrI'm genuinely feeling that being a hermit in the woods may not be too bad
Comment from : @martincrotty

Struggled with money my entire life, among either things Thank youbrFeeling a little better now 😢
Comment from : @sayusayme7729

At the risk of being a downer, from my experience people can be more gullible and in some instances may be financially exploited or scammed
