WIREDAND MONEY

Inside the guide

Your brain isn't bad with money. The system was built for a different brain.

Track everything. Budget harder. Just be more disciplined. If standard money advice worked for you, you wouldn't be reading this. For autistic and ADHD brains, that advice doesn't just fail — it fails and then gets misread, by everyone including you, as irresponsibility.

It isn't irresponsibility. It's a mismatch. Money systems assume an executive function that your brain runs differently. This book stops trying to fix you and starts building systems that work with the brain you actually have.

Twenty-three short chapters. One idea each. A ten-minute action at the end of every one — always optional, never homework. Read in any order. Start with whatever is on fire.

Inside, the problems named the way you actually experience them:

1. 1. Why executive function isn't willpower — and why that changes everything
2. 2. Maths anxiety and dyscalculia: not stupidity, and how to route around them
3. 3. Sensory overload at the bank, the app, the branch
4. 4. Automation as scaffolding — money that runs itself on your worst day
5. 5. Time blindness and the bill that ambushes you
6. 6. The subscription graveyard, and the one audit that clears it
7. 7. Impulse spending and the dopamine hit — without the shame
8. 8. Erratic income: building for your lowest month, not your average one
9. 9. Talking to a partner about money without it ending in blame
10. 10. Debt and crisis: triage, and where to get free help
11. 11. UK benefits you may be missing — PIP, Universal Credit, and the assessment
12. 12. Saving when your brain doesn't reward “future you”

Grounded in research, not vibes. Every claim about how autistic and ADHD brains handle money is drawn from published studies — the Macquarie University financial-wellbeing research, work on temporal discounting and dopamine, dyscalculia and executive function — all referenced at the back.

This is a field guide, not a lecture. It assumes the hard days are coming, because they are — and builds a financial life that survives them.
