When to Start Investing, and Why it Matters – AFI: The Autism and Financial Independence Podcast – Episode 14


Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. I just wanted to share the latest episode of AFI. In this episode, we focus on financial independence. Regular viewers and listeners to AFI will know how passionate I can get about the financial plight of many autistic people, and how important I believe it is for autistic people to achieve some kind of financial safety before autistic burnout kicks in.

David’s (AFI co-host, and autistic blogger behind Mortgage Advisor on FIRE) expertise in financial matters is helpful for anyone, but especially for autistic people. In episode 14, his explanation of the impact of early planning, and understanding fees is brilliant.

Again: We are not selling or promoting financial products or services; we are just two autistic guys with a certain amount of knowledge and experience, talking about the issues.

You can watch the episode in the viewer below, or if you prefer your podcasts audio-only, we are on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Audible (links below).


That’s all for this time. Take care.
