I am yet to be diagnosed but have a strong suspicion that I am. I also am a Christian.

The Aspergers is not-yet-confirmed; the Christian is.

I'm a Christian and I suspect I might have Asperger's.

Interesting that some group did a survey a few years ago and 75% of the "Christian" respondents believed there was a Bible verse that said "God helps those who help themselves". Which is actually a quote from Ben Franklin, and not all that biblical, considering all the verses about helping the poor and whatnot.


Yes, it's really strange how many self-confessed 'Christians' know so little about what the Bible actually says, believing that, for example, it condones the accumulation of riches when in fact it explicitly condemns it on occasions too numerous to mention (ex. Epistle of James, Chapter 5 being just one).

Anyway, although I don't consider myself to be a Christian (I don't really like labels very much), I do believe in God, read the New Testament because I actually enjoy doing so, practically live like a monk (no drugs, cigarettes, sex, hardly ever gamble - although when I do I tend to win), do not believe that blind and chaotic forces just magically 'created' the universe from literally nothing, do not believe in Darwinism, and one of my hobbies is to debate the finer points of the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses when they turn up on my door (not often enough, unfortunately).

So, does all of the above qualify me to be a member?

I'm diagnosed with Autism and am a Christian. Despite occassional doubts, I am firm and comfortable in my faith. However, I am not bound to any one denomonation of Christianity. The many different denominations confuse me; they all have truth in them, and are all twirked in a strange fashion. But, such is humanity. I'll leave all that for God to sort out. :D

I'm a Christian and in the process of being assessed for AS. I love exploring the details of the Bible, particularly Paul's epistles and the gospel of John. I don't really identify with a particular denomination (although I'm probably more Protestant in theology). For me, if you trust that Jesus died to save you from your sin and you live in light of that, that's what really matters. It's about grace.

Well, hi there! I'm new to WP and this caught my eye. I'm most certainly a God fearing Jesus loving person with Asperger's syndrome. Actually me dealing with some of the stresses of the disorder was made much easier after I was saved. It helped me cope better with it. Now, I don't stress that I have trouble shocializing or having a conversation because my self esteem was boosted knowing that I DO matter and I DO have a purpose here despite me having AS. Don't get me wrong, I can't socialize or approach a stranger and I have my rough days but I'm no longer depressed over the issue. I've accepted it rather then denied it. Welp, I'm glad that a lot of you here are christian and I hope I can finally find some people who have similarities as me. (I've never met anyone else who has Aspergers. I'm the only one who has it in my family and all of the schools I went to never had AS children. Yeah, it's been rough...)

I'm happy for everybody who can find solace and comfort within the pages of the Bible.
