We will all have stories like this.
My 18 yo son is vax damaged and on the autism spectrum. He's a good responsive kid, but has executive function problems. That basically means he has a hard time keeping a sequence of instructions in his head. It may be hard for him to work. We don't know yet.
Since 2018 and 2022 respectively I've been smash buying btc and mstr (mstr through a family account where I cannot buy bitcoin directly for him). This will be his money to live on.
I hope he can work and take care of himself. I think he can, and if so, he'll at least have the money to buy himself a house one day.

I suspect this may have occurred with one of my sons as well, but he’s so minimal “on the spectrum” that it’s not a serious concern. Step 1: keep doing what you’re doing. Step 2: work around the difficulties in his life and keep encouraging him in all the ways he’s great at one thing or another. Step 3: Even with difficulties, I think you’ll find unexpected excellence to him that is heightened BECAUSE of the limitations.
Basically I’m telling you to Helen Keller him.
Thank you for the encouragement. I once got to meet Temple Grandin, who is the patron saint of Autism. She told me to keep the bar as high as possible, which is what I do (or at least try to).
