Is there anybody out there who feels they so much want to fit in with everyone else but struggles to at church. Does your church open and understand your autism. What can we do to change struggles we have in a busy church environment? Autism christian bible study groups etc? I am thinking at random. What are your thoughts and what are your struggles?
It’s funny you mentioned that. I grew up in the church. Found a personal faith at a fairly young age. But have often had friction with organised religion. Even to this day I feel very much like I’m floating on the periphery of our church community. I’ve been writing something that is about 50 ish a4 pages of, for want of a better word, collection of lessons that could be drawn from my life about how churches could better include and support autistic people.
i’m seriously thinking of publishing it as a book. Probably as an e book on Amazon. There are maybe two books I could find on Amazon about autism and Christianity. I don’t know if I will publish, some of it feels rather personal. But here are some of the repeating themes.
I like the idea of a safe space as well. I have often thought of writing like a guide for autistic Christians too
