Why we need to think differently about money management for the neurodivergent community

We see so many of our community struggling with debt, unable to keep track of where their money goes, turning to gambling to try and balance the books, and ending up in debt management plans to work their way out of the problem. There are now lots of apps and website offering solutions and support on setting up budgets and spending limits, but they can often create even more stress than the individual was originally dealing with.

To move forward we need to understand why managing money can be hard for some of our community and look at the issues through a neurodivergent lens. Otherwise, we are just setting people up for another sense failure.
