Autistic money struggles? Estelle Gibson (CPA, TED Speaker w/ 2.3M views, Poor by Choice? author) shares: Post-divorce rebuild, her holistic coaching customizes spending plans (not restrictive budgets) for neurodivergent journeys—uncover environments shaping beliefs (society/family/programming), flip permissive thoughts ("I'll do it tomorrow" to action), and manifestation formula (words → thoughts → beliefs → actions → experience). For autistic young adults starting bills-free, parents teaching necessities/wants, or anyone ditching 'I'm bad with math' myths, this convo's your toolkit—awareness first (track inflows/outflows, subscriptions), then choice (needs vs. wants for dreams like retirement).
