Entrepreunial Aspies?

Post Reply New Topic

I have had my own buiness for 3 years now and im also in the process of creating my own innovative watch brand with some partners.

I havent seen many people here talk about theyre dreams and visions here and what things they are trying to achieve. I am very interested on hear about anyone who has expereince in creating new ventures but also is aspie and if they have found it ahinderence or a beneift.

im a design consultant, and im of the very sensitive and intuitive aspie type, and i found those skills exceptionally useful in making my clients unarticulated sub conscious desires come true in real 3d form. also i have strange intuions about which companies to contact and when etc and i find alot of work through that level of inspiration.

I would love to hear about other peoples experiences. I also really want to see (and be a) positive and inspiring exapmples of ASD/ADHD people who use thier ususal energy and consciousness to thier advantege in manifesting thier desires and dreams.

I'm a high funtion autistic who works for himself in the computer industry. I do mostly repair, but I also build. sell, rent, and demonstrate computers running on the Linux operating system.

I'm a comic book designer and I am also next year goig to be making animation, adverts, comedy sketches and graphic design, I am in the middle of creating a podcast which will be released late september october lol its so hard sometimes finding time to do things I like doing to switch off but I love my drawing and art and making comedy sketches is especially hilarious as people laugh with me not at me so its great to be able to make friends through my work rather than sit alone somewhere and look up on a random interest ya know

It makes me wonder how many other entropenirial aspies there are bar the famous bill gates

anyways good one on you I want a new watch I never wear them lol what sort u designing

I’m a self employed licensed general contractor. I can construct, install or repair almost anything in a house or building, even appliances. My disadvantage is that I cannot hire anyone because I stink at human communication so I can only do small jobs but my advantage is that I don’t have to advertise because the same clients keep calling me for more work because they know I am honest and meticulous.

Exactly treat others in business or customers and that is how you'll be repaid
It is wonderful to read about autistics who are masters of their area as I am fairly new to the circuit in art but my friends have asked me to have prints done and in bluntness it is kind of depressing to scroll on the autistic forums and such a large don't work and I knda feel a lot happy now knowing there are others who are very good at what they do but still have a lovely ordinary life

I am doing my art as I get my degree and I love my university as it is so good to disabled people but after that some people will think where now but I would love to do voice acting in cartoons and cgi while doing some acting, artestry, drawing, podcasting and if everything goes to plan even character design for video games my lecturers certainly think I can and I know I can

I wonder with all the previous posters if your mantra was perservere and continue on and just endure all?

My main partner Flakey, would almost qualify..He is more of an entrepreneurial ADD/PDD-NOS person...Shortly after I became acquaintanced with him, he became my boss..(went out of his way to offer me a job)...he has a successful online ethnobotanical business that he started with the help of his previous responsible NT girlfriends...and then he ran off and started our venue with me...Right now we run both businesses...it is a great big handful...

I have a little cafepress store that doesn't make much money, but it's fun at least. I kinda like graphic design, but simple stuff yet. I plan on taking some courses in graphic design, and after I finish them (especially web design) and feel comfortable with web design, and after I read more on Web Marketing, I'm thinking about starting a little local business like an advertising agency for the net. I also have some local promotion ideas I'd like to do as well, like directing and choreographing style shows.

Also, I don't know if I'll ever do this, but I read the post on the craftsman who does cabinetry. I have so many ideas for functional furniture designs, but no way to make it pretty. My first idea started with wanting a lazy susan under my bathroom sink (I have way too many beauty products). Then I sit and look throughout my house, and I have ideas for furniture that would function as organizing devices and serious space savers. I think it would sell if I could make it pretty and build it. I'm not much for woodworking, but I could probably learn to enjoy it. I keep thinking that might be a wiser route only because I could seriously upsell it.

As usual, my problem is I have too many ideas I want to do that I can't decide on them, and then it never gets done.

I've been trying to get a consulting business going. I've had two contracts, one very lucrative. And that's it. The problem is that I don't network well. Is anyone surprised?

I write software and sell it online. I don't make much money, but I'm a much much happier person now than I was before I was fired from my secure easy prestigious well paying job.

I own some websites , used to do alot of business on ebay and starting a small advertising company. Plan/Hope to do more in the future.
