bioillogically:

if you’re living in the united states and have a formal disability diagnosis—including autism spectrum disorder and maybe even ptsd—you’re likely eligible to open an ABLE Account.

it’s a tax-advantaged savings account that is also exempt from means-testing, meaning that anything you put in there can’t be counted against you for medicaid, SNAP, SSI, or SSDI.

you can pay for a lot out of an ABLE account, including basic living expenses (rent, utilities, transportation), medical expenses (whether or not they’re related to your disability), and education expenses. this account is likely going to enable me to pay for my own grs. please look into it!
