AFI: Autism and Financial Independence — Episode 3: Follow the Money

Autistic bloggers David Scothern (Mortgage Advisor on FIRE) and Darren Scothern (The Autistic Writer) discuss the intersection of autism and financial independence.

In Episode 3, Darren lays bare the huge amounts of money flowing through the autism industry, and explains why it’s not helping autistic people. David then talks about why personal budgeting is important, and why the best method of doing it is so counter-intuitive.

Also: Autism in the News

The hosts share their thoughts on one of the most ridiculous stories to emerge in autism news, and try, with limited success, to keep straight faces.

A note from Darren and David
