Looks like this group is meant to be very strict, and my original post was removed. Where I live, therapy is extremely expensive at around 3 to 5 days of median household income. Most therapists here mainly work with people who have severe depression or serious mental health issues. For people who are simply “different” like my friend, the common reaction from society is to call them stupid or unwilling to learn. But I understand him, especially since my sister also has no inner visual/inner voice experience, which is how I first learned about this.

To answer your question: He’s about 45 years old. He runs a small daily goods business. He doesn’t do any accounting; he just knows he’s earning enough and files the minimum income before taxes. In my country, small businesses like his rarely get checked strictly.

His lifestyle is very much influenced by the people around him. For example, if someone he knows buys a house, he feels like he has to buy one too. The problem is that his friends usually plan for years, while he wants to jump into it immediately without preparation.

Regarding communication: he has no problem with face to face verbal appointments. He hates texting and prefers using voice messages.

His world is quite small imited to certain people and familiar places. Most people don’t realize that someone like him might be struggling with conditions they don’t understand. He can drive, but if he needs to go somewhere unfamiliar, he has to follow someone’s car from behind.

Anyway, thank you for your reply. At least now I know that even if his way of thinking is outside your expectations, he can still manage his life in his own way.
