Wired and Money: Financial Systems for Autistic Brains

Your brain isn't bad with money. The system was built for a different brain.

Track everything. Budget meticulously. Practise discipline. If that advice worked for you, you wouldn't be here. For autistic brains it doesn't just fail — it fails, and then the failure gets misread, by everyone including you, as irresponsibility.

It isn't irresponsibility. Money systems assume an executive function that yours runs differently. This book stops trying to fix you and rebuilds money around how your brain actually works: automation as scaffolding, visual tools instead of spreadsheets, buffers for months that don't arrive on schedule, and a way through debt and benefits that doesn't depend on willpower you were never going to summon.

Twenty-three short chapters. One idea each. A ten-minute step at the end of every one, always optional, never homework. Listen in any order and start with whatever is on fire.

Grounded in published research, referenced in full in the written editions.
