'I spend all my money on Mariah Carey and B&M' 💷 Managing your money when you're autistic is not easy - nicholasgfearn describes his relationship with money ActuallyAutistic MentalHealth
Every January, my dad helps me submit my freelance tax return. He reminds me to print off and keep my invoices in a file. Without him, I wouldn’t have a career. And that’s a scary thought as I’d struggle to work in an office environment. I need to work from home as it’s my safe space. Offices are far too loud and busy. For me, working in an office would be like trying to concentrate on a busy train station platform.
My mum sometimes steps in and calls people on my behalf. If the bank identifies irregularities concerning my account, blocks my card, and requires me to make a phone call to resolve the problem, I’d involve my mum. But she can’t speak to my bank. I’d have to contact them beforehand and give them permission for my mum to take the call on my behalf. And I don’t feel confident speaking to them in the first place.Online chat should be my saviour, but it isn’t.
I remember going to town with my friends when I was a teenager and spending a stupid amount of money on a phone case for a completely different model. I bought it because I liked the texture and colour of the case, not because it actually fitted my phone. I remember going home, showing the case to my mum, and getting scolded for needlessly wasting money. I genuinely didn’t see the issue.
Whenever I receive my pay cheque, I jump straight into my car for a trip to the shops. I typically end up in B&M purchasing another piece of home decor I don’t need. For instance, when I was supposed to buy stuff for a summer holiday, I came home with a giant artificial tree that stuck out like a sore thumb in my living room.
