I'm an aspie, and a Christian as well; Baptist to be precise. Welcome to WP :D

Welcome to WP! I'm a self-diagnosed Aspie and a Christian and have attended loads of churches over 28 years and I don't fit into any. Maybe we could create a network of Aspie Christians and we could share our enthusiasm and insight and encourage and get to know each other in the process. :D

I'm a Christian, and also suspect Asperger's in myself. Can't afford an official Dx at this point but it's pretty obvious to myself and those who I am close to. :D Welcome to the WrongPlanet. :wtg:

Officially Self-diagnosed Aspie here, starting on the path to be diagnosed (I've got a neurologist's name and number I need to call sometime during working hours). And, a follower of Christ. Due to my researching everything I consider interesting, and my throughly read-through Bibles, I cannot say I'm a Christian because "Christian" is synomonous with "church goer" in today's language, of which I no longer am.

Yea, I know "Jesus said not to give up meeting together." And I don't. Not outside of a "church setting" it's just that a lot of the churches I have tried to attend are very clique-ish and legalistic, neither of which I can take. If you are truly a Son/Daughter of God, you are my friend and sibling in Christ and I'd love to chat... I just can't make it in a church setting... and I'm thinking my very likely having asperger's probably doesn't help that at all.

Other than not going to church, there are a few other legalities that most congregations follow that I disagree with, but the core of my faith, is the same I think. Jesus is my Lord and Savior and Friend. Without Him I'd be litterally nothing.


I really like this and can really relate to every word you said.

This appeared to be the only page under this topic so I shall post my post here. Hope this is ok?

I have grown up in a Christian family, with strong morals.
Anyway I guess that I feel like even though I have accepted Christ into my life, a couple of times :P
I still feel like their is something I am missing.
Many people it seems that receive Christ have large changes to their daily lives.

I Know for an absolute Fact Jesus Christ is Lord. That he is The way The truth and The life, that No One can come to God apart from through him.
I seem to have the head knowledge, uploaded and ready to go.
But it 'feels' like when I pray they bounce off the ceiling, and when I invite God in he dips his toes in then leave because its too cold. (I know this is not true, just a metaphor).
I just sometimes feel like an, unmotivated, unproductive, waste of space waiting for something.

"Well so Soul what does this have to do with Asperger's?"

I was just wondering whether being less empathetic, emotional, and more logical and analytical, could cause this apparently strange balance of Knowlege:Spirtual that people seem to have the opposite problem with.
Will I really need to fight to hear His voice until I get used to 'tunning in'??

Just some of the thoughts on my mind at the moment, thanks for reading.
I am Anglican by the way, just thought I should include that :P

I do believe a God exists; however, reading things about the Catholic priests and the more extreme aspects of Christianity always makes me reconsider my position on religion. Still though, I go to church most every Sunday because my mother is a devout and it takes away some of my stress each morning. Mostly, I am a Christ follower who advocates religious freedom.

I have Asperger's Syndrome and I'm also a Christian. I was wondering if we could all have a chat room on here for Christians that are on the autism spectrum? What do you all think about that?:)

I'm am a Christian who happens to be an Aspie :D I am the member of a Lutheran church, athough I attended Baptist, Methodist, Episcopalian, and Pentecostal churches before I found my church home.

Would anyone be interested in creating an online intercessory prayer forum? It could be a place where Christian Aspies could support one another, posting prayer requests and praise reports. It would not be a place for religious debate.

Regarding the chat room suggestion, I think its a good idea, but I would not be able to participate because of anxiety over chatting in real-time with people I have not met face-to-face.

Unbaptised Catholic, undiagnosed Aspie. I'm hoping to do something about both of those in the near future, but I'm too scared to go to the Doctor's and as for the baptism I'll have to wait until next Easter.
