Hello
My name is Michael and I was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome 6 years ago. I am also a Christian, and am about to start training to become a minister.
I know that some people don't agree/believe in religion - I don't mean to offend you by typing this question.
Does anyone know of any organisations or societies for autistic clergy/people in Church leadership?
Thank you for your help.
Michael
(PS this is my first post so sorry if it is in the wrong place)
Hi Michael,
(Firstly, you don't need to give your name if you don't want to.) That's great that you have found a passion to follow. I suspect there are many autistic people in the ranks of organised religions, but I don't know of any organisations or societies for autistic clergy. Maybe starting your own might be a worthy endeavour for the future?
Thank you for your email. Yes indeed: I would like that. For now, though, I need help and support really.
