Hey guys I’m looking at setting up a online community/social network that helps autistic people share common interests, find friends, and help each other through their struggles. If anyone knows funding I can apply for in the uk, Ireland, or internationally I would greatly appreciate it. Also if you want to get involved yourself or know someone who would benefit please dm me. We’re also looking for this to be made by autistic people so all people are welcome to come have a chat an make friends. submitted by /u/Apprehensive-Gas31 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I was recently offered $1000 to create two sponsored posts on TikTok for a company that should not be named. I deeply want to use that money to do as much good as possible, preferably in the area of helping people that are homeless- a cause that I deeply care about. What is the most effective way to use $1000 to help homeless people? Go on the street and give $1000 worth of meals to the homeless? Pay for one person's rent for a month? Donate to a certain charity? What would you advise? :) submitted by /u/11JL [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
