About six months ago I was called on by two Jehova's Witnesses women who tried to convert me to their religion. I said I was an aetheist and autistic and one of them replied "we are all autistic". At the time I assumed she was trying to ingratiate herself to me by saying what she did. ie make me feel she was empathetic to get into my head.
Oh, I am extremely sorry about that. As an ASD Jehovah’s Witness, I would like to apologise on her behalf. I can assure you that she probably wasn’t trying to get into your head, we are actually really nice people. Neurotypical Witnesses also have misconceptions about autism just like any neurotypical. Personally, I was born into our religion, but as I grew up I question our beliefs. So I researched, after doing deep and extensive research about what we believed on both google and our own website, I found that our beliefs were actually very logical and there was a lot of scientific evidence to back them up. Hope this answers your question.
