Hey Guys So Apparently This Is A Thing A Lot Of People Don't Realise But Like. If You Have Had Writer's

Do autistic kids "grow out" of their autism? Why does it sometimes seem like there are so few autistic adults?

For Autism Acceptance Month, I covered this topic in this comic to help explain this disconnect! YouTube | TikTok | Instagram | Twitter

Nothing I’ve read has changed me more than “you do people a favor by accepting their help” like I repeat this constantly to so many people because it’s true!!! People like to feel useful, they like to feel kind, they like to feel like they have an ability to impact people’s lives so just let them!! Not everything is a thing to be owed back — accept people’s kindness without making a competition out of it

don’t forget to take your meds if you need to!! also, do not feel like taking meds is a weakness. it isn’t. it just gives you what you need to function better, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

How to Live Your Dream Life on a Budget

1. Define Your Dream Life

Clarify Your Priorities: Identify what truly matters to you. Is it travel, a peaceful home, pursuing a passion, or more time with loved ones?

Set Realistic Goals: Break your dream into achievable milestones. This helps make the process feel manageable and less overwhelming.

2. Focus on Experiences, Not Things

Prioritize meaningful experiences over material possessions. For example, a picnic with friends can be as fulfilling as dining at an expensive restaurant.

Look for free or low-cost activities in your area, such as community events, nature trails, or local museums.

3. Budget Strategically

Track Your Expenses: Use budgeting apps or spreadsheets to understand where your money goes and identify areas for savings.

Cut Unnecessary Costs: Reduce spending on non-essential items, such as subscription services you don’t use or frequent takeout meals.

Save Smartly: Allocate a portion of your income, no matter how small, to a "dream fund" for your long-term goals.

4. Leverage Resources and Skills

Learn for Free: Use free online resources like YouTube, Coursera, or local libraries to develop skills or hobbies that align with your dream life.

Barter or Trade Skills: Exchange your expertise for goods or services. For instance, offer graphic design in exchange for language lessons.

5. Maximize What You Have

Repurpose and Reuse: Upcycle old furniture, clothes, or decor to create a refreshed living space without spending much.

Enjoy Simple Pleasures: Appreciate small joys like reading a book, journaling, cooking, or spending time outdoors.

6. Pursue Low-Cost Travel

Take advantage of budget-friendly travel options like camping, house-sitting, or volunteering abroad (e.g., WWOOF or Workaway).

Use travel rewards or discounts to save on flights and accommodations.

7. Build a Support Network

Surround yourself with supportive people who share your values and inspire you.

Join communities (in-person or online) that focus on minimalism, frugal living, or achieving dreams on a budget.

8. Stay Positive and Flexible

Embrace Gratitude: Celebrate small wins and recognize the progress you’ve made toward your dream life.

Adapt Your Vision: Understand that your dream life may evolve over time, and that’s okay. Be open to new opportunities and adjustments.

Examples of Dream Lives on a Budget

A Creative Lifestyle: Pursue writing, painting, or photography with inexpensive tools and platforms to share your work.

An Adventurous Life: Explore local attractions, hike nearby trails, or road trip on a budget.

A Peaceful Home: Create a cozy, welcoming space using thrifted decor and DIY projects.

Pursuing Personal Growth: Dive into free or affordable online courses, read self-improvement books, or attend community workshops.

Your dream life isn’t about how much money you have—it’s about how you use your resources to align with your values and aspirations. With intention and creativity, even modest means can lead to extraordinary fulfillment.

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
