If you enjoy The Autistic Writer, find something useful here, or simply appreciate the autistic perspective, there are lots of ways you can support what I do.
And not all of them involve spending money.
The simplest way to help
Share.
It sounds small, but it really does make a difference. Sharing The Autistic Writer on your social media helps the blog reach more people.
If you read something that makes you think, “Someone else needs to see this,” please share it.
You can also subscribe to The Autistic Writer so that you don’t miss new posts.
Every like, follow, comment, share and subscription helps the blog become a little more visible.
Support the podcast
As The Autistic Writer, I am co-host of AFI: The Autism and Financial Independence Podcast, along with David, who blogs as the Mortgage Advisor on FIRE.
AFI explores the intersection of autism and financial independence. We’re trying to make information that can often seem inaccessible or intimidating easier to understand, while also talking honestly about the autistic experience, and financial security in general.
If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following, liking and subscribing to AFI on YouTube or your chosen podcast platform.
Listening, leaving a rating or review where the platform allows it, and sharing episodes with other people, are all incredibly helpful.
There’s also a dedicated Facebook page for AFI, where we post about new episodes and other podcast-related stuff. Give it a follow and come and join the conversation.
Buy me a coffee
If you’d like to make a small financial contribution to help support The Autistic Writer, you can buy me a coffee.
This is specifically to support the blog and isn’t connected to AFI. Your contribution helps with the various costs involved in keeping an independent website going. Just click the button below.
There’s absolutely no obligation, though. The blog is here to be read and shared, whether you buy me a coffee or not.
Buy one of my books
I also write fiction.
So, if you’d like to support me and fancy something to read, you can buy one of my books on Amazon.
They’re fiction rather than books about autism, so don’t expect a hidden diagnostic manual disguised as a thriller!
Every purchase helps support me as an independent writer.

Read, subscribe, share
Ultimately, the best way to support The Autistic Writer is simply to read it.
Come back, subscribe, follow the social media pages, leave a comment, tell somebody about an article, share something that resonates with you, and perhaps listen to an episode of AFI while you’re here.
Independent voices depend on people choosing to give them their time and attention. Every reader helps.
And if something I’ve written has made you think differently about autism, helped you understand your own experiences, challenged something you thought you knew, or simply made you feel a little less alone, then that’s probably the best support of all.
Thank you for being here. Darren
