People with AS are often noted for a liking of routine and repitition, so, I was wondering: are there many people with AS that have found enjoyment within highly ritualised religious observance? Perhaps such events could be seen, in part, as social occasions, where everything always follows the same pattern and everything is planned precisely. I wonder if the people who first came up with the idea would, today, be considered as having AS.

Hmm, that's an interesting idea. Growing up, my family was a religion that does not have many traditions or rituals, but I've always been fascinated by Catholicism and Judaism precisely because they have them.

Spooky. I have and do tend to be interested in a certain religions. Mormons and Evangelist are my top interest. Religion is a very interesting belief and the impact it has on people.

I do like highly ritualized religions, but I belong to one which has very minimal rituals. Oh, well,
