I became Orthodox about 10 years ago, but I've been interested in Orthodoxy for decades (for most of that time I was living too far from an Orthodox church to do anything about it).

That is interesting to read. I was baptised in a Catholic church and attended a Catholic school to 19. I am a Christian but non denominational now. I won't join a denomination today and see myself as a folllower of Christ which he asked us to be at mininium. I have been to different church's in my life and they were all at with one cause. I have looked at the Orthodox teachings and don't disagree with what I read. I align with many denominations though and like to be inclusive. I was particularly drawn to read the teachings for your denomination because of this discussion about the creation and I like that the denomination you are joined do not go out to try and be scientific on how the world was created and support ex nihilo. I have not come across an Orthodox neurodiverse before you and I know some commitment is needed like 2 hours services which is quite hard for me with my autism and I attend shorter Anglican and Catholic services today. I am glad that you have found something you are comfortable with and it shows how diverse neurodiverse people can be..
