deutrino@hmm_cook the biggest impediment to my ability to self-support for nearly 15 years, and the reason I've been lowkey homeless for 10 years, is because I am not able to actually use my abilities consistently enough to be able to plan anything, deliver work, etc. the first 5 years were burnout, the next 10 have been due to even worse burnout from inability to meet my sensory requirements after I lost my home.
@hmm_cook in other words, your video is a good & valuable reframe, but depending on what business one is in, a certain minimum level of consistency may be required in order to viably self-support in said business. and it's very possible to get stuck in scenarios where that's not possible due to one or another limitation plus having inadequate support, sometimes for many years.
I know too many people on the spectrum who are living some version of this, myself included.
