If an aspie won $35million

Post Reply New Topic

If I had 35 million, I'd probably do some selfish things with it. First, I would pay back my existing student loans, then finish up college. I'd buy property back in Texas and put two houses on it. One for my mom, and one for my family. The house for my family would have one floor of just sensory enrichment for each of our sensory needs. I would put $5 mil away for each of my kids in trust funds. I'd buy a car for myself and my husband and they'd both be hybrids.

Let's see... that would cost around $15-20 mil, I think.

So the last $10-15 mil, I would build my dream "full-service" disability center. It would be full encompassing for all people with developmental disabilities. It would be equipped with ST, OT, PTs as well as people trained in ABA, RDI, and floortime therapies. Then also, individual, family and couples therapy for each member of the family with dev. delay. Social skills groups, job training, academic help. Yeah, I think $10-15 mil would get it started up enough. Obviously, though, I couldn't possibly do it for free. There's no way I could keep all the therapists and bills paid for more than a month or two after building the center itself. But as long as I get accredited people, I'm sure I could become covered under any insurance in Texas. And for those I can't, I'd definitely help them find grants so there is no money coming out of their pocket.

Given the present situation, and what's been on my mind lately... I would work to create a business where those on the spectrum would find a comfortable environment, and develop a place or model where talents can be utilized and success experienced. It's not curing world hunger, but it's where my brain has been as of late.

I'd start my own business that would provide jobs for people in my community, injecting money back in the local economy. Most likely the business would be a community newspaper and/or a printing service.

If I won the Powerball (when it's up around 350 million), I'd start several businesses plus donate a chunk to charity. Then I'd find some homeless guy on the street and give him $10,000 --just because I've always wished someone would do that for me.

Mine would go into the bank, and go into my wanted career.

I would fund quantum computing and teleportation (it's actually REAL, read up on available information yourself)
As far as the public knows a quantum computer has been made to read signals from atoms. Also as far as we know teleportation of small (very small) objects have been teleported (by the press of a button!) as of 2004.

I would buy this forum and shut it down for good

lots of guns, get my own island

let all the metal and gear heads of the world come there, pirate island essentially

By the time the Feds, State, local, bills, loans, etc., got finished with it...I might by me a Coke...

move to South Africa, open up an animal santuary, also but the copyrights to the Lion King and Titan A.E. movies, have an indoor swimming pool and my own veternary practice, get a meerkat pet and diamond collars for it
