The Autistic Christian

Neurodivergent people can find many elements of traditional Protestant worship services challenging. Lights, music, non-literal allusions, expectations around Christian fellowship all can present barriers to a neurodivergent person's worship and faith experience. This book is written by, and from the perspective of, a clinically diagnosed neurodivergent Christian as a way to open the conversation around the intersection of neurodivergent traits and Christian worship, faith, and belief. It offers examples of the challenges found at this intersection and suggestions for both the neurodivergent person and those conducting worship to overcome these challenges. The goal is to help remove the obstacles around faith and worship so that neurodivergent individuals can experience God fully and without impediment.
