Christian Aspie chat

Post Reply New Topic

I read it, and I did not particlularly enjoy it.

On a pointless side note, the main characters math is flawed. Around two-thirds of the way through the book he says that
"Fear of new place X fear of father = total fear" and because of that his total fear remains constant as he moves away from his father toward the new place, but he clearly implies fear is a linear function with respect to distance in which case he would be most afraid directly in between his father and the new place. It would work as F1 + F2 = Tf, or if his fear vs distance was an exponential function.

I enjoyed it, not for the maths, but for the story.

I don't know if you have already had this answered, but I like to singalonga the Karaoke version of this song on www.cyberhymnal.org, look up the song list and it's under "I danced in the morning when the world was begun".

I am very heartened to read there are Christian Aspies. I'm the mother of a boy just diagnosed and I hope he grows up to be a Christian.

Impressive. Agreed. I found that how they had the character behave is not similar to how I behave as an Aspie. I enjoyed it, but found some aspects to be too fictionalized.

I read the new worlds translation, might was well be my sometimes, because when Reading aloud I add words I think should be there, nothing big, like the's and's, so forth.... I'll look up the holman one as I never heard of it

there's a band in canada, called Captain Tractor, they sing this song as well, it's like folk, mountain music their sound

I belong to a fundemental religious group, and I don't know how they would react to my

As. I joined WP to find people with AS , and now it is nice to find people who believe in

God. I use KJV,NKJV,and Dickerson Study Bible.

Preludeman, we had a fundemenalist here who was a fanatic, yet he was not a memeber of a Church but was looking for one. I contacted every fundementalist group in his area and ALL OF THEM, wanted him, even though they knew he was causing alot of problems here,
I think he was eventually banned. They told me they would help him, and welcome him. They didn't care that he had AS as a matter of fact, one of the churches had a big autism ministry going because they said they really needed one. If people you trust know about your AS then they would say..."Oh yeah, that makes since." At least let your Pastor know.

I hope I do not sound "bigoted" or "mean". I am not a fantic or a trouble maker.
At one church I went to one member was a"Collection Plate Watcher", and he thought I did not give enough.At another church the people were "Rightous Than Thou" and they did not like me because my parents were divorced, and I was not "Raised" in their church. I tried to join a singles group at another church, and when they found out I work at the time as a janitor they wanted nothing to do with me. There is no "Autistic Ministry in my area. I do not wish to talk to my "minister" I learned about that the last time, and it only made things worse. I am not ashamed of my AS , yet there are those who would not "understand". I have discussed this with those I trust and who need to know.I thought this was to be a "Christian Forum" not one where I am attacked,given the third degree, and spill my guts. I also do not understand "why" "NT's" are allowed to use WP.I really do not think "Paula" understands that to me AS was the "Stranger" I lived with for nearly 40 years. I know many of you have your own stories , and I hope you can forgive me .I also hope "Paula" forgives me also , for questioning her and other "NT's" reason for being on WP.

Well first off, I was not accusing you of being a fanatic nor a troublemaker. The kid I mentioned needed help and one of the moderators asked me to deal with him, being a Christian myself I sought help with people he would feel comfortable with but did not know how to contact.He was comfortable talking to me, and I could get him to chill out for awhile. I'm not a fundamentalist, but I respected what he wanted and went with it. I figured whoever he would choose, they would help balance and ground him, he was condeming everyone to hell and was very offensive. He needed these ministers council and guidance. I am 46 years old, and Alex says I can be here. I originally came on because I have a friend who is aspie, I lurked at first, then started to talk to people and then I told my friend to join. I now tell lots of people about this site. I use to work in a residential home for boys, and now I work in the school district special ed section. Alot of my clients are on the spectrum. I have recommended this site to many students,parents and teachers and when I'm stuck, I always find someone here that can give me advice on my students. When I am given to, I like to give back. This site has been a Godsend for me, so I'm here.

Again I am sorry if I caused trouble for Paula and the AS community.

It has been hard for me to find the right church for myself, for the various reasons

I mentioned earlier. I have chosen to keep my condition to myself except for those that need

to know. I am sure that Paula and most of you understand how some people are about

AS. Again I am sorry to cause trouble

You are not causing trouble here. We all have our issues.

yeah, like the lady said this is sharing circle man, I tried to discuss my problems with not fitting in with someone else in my faith, this person claims to understand my problems but then told me he was pissed because I forgot to do something, and well, if he knew what that means, it's like I'm feeling cut off because none of them have anything to do with me outside meetings, I'm happy I have this place to discuss things, if I didn't well, I don't know much

I read the NKJV now but I have completely read the NIV. It took me five years to read it because I read slow and have many interruptions from housework and homework.

Who else has read the entire Bible?

Who else was/is homeschooled?

Curious. As a catholic, I pray every night. But I have never found going to church very insightful. And it is always very crowded. I've tried.
Anyone else feel it easier to practice alone?

It is easier, but also lonelier. I don't care for crowds of unknown people, but as I get to know everybody I like it better. As for insight I recommend self study: buy some references and learn on your own.
