Hello
I am in the process of writing an sort of Advent Prayer Booklet to be used in Advent later on this year by anyone who wants to but also aimed for people with autism who find it hard to join in group discussions. I myself do find it hard socially to join in. I know the social rules but never seems to work for me. I feel isolated when going through other typcial Lent/Advent course books especially at home as always find they rely heavily on interaciton of the group. Which I find is no good when at home going through it 'alone'. A local priest is supporting me doing this project. It two fold in that primary it to keep myself busy (and at times when I need to talk to him about things and there are no words, I can talk about this) and if anything becomes of it from a worth sense of the word may be sale-able to anyone who wants to buy it through Lulu etc. I have more or less sorted out four themes as such. But theological support I have with the Priest helping me. But am wondering if there is anything that should be in the advent book that conventional church books don't cover but take for granted that everyone knows. I myself am very long term Christian but find myself asking or this priest telling me things that really I should know after 30 years of church attendance perhaps. So even less from an autism perspective. Am lucky I have found someone I can ask in a format I can use.
How would you like to see a standard group study book be adapted for individual use so that are not isolated from group discussion. Anything you would like to be seen included to be accessible for people/adults? specifically on the ASD spectrum?
