The funniest thing about the no autism in the Amish community thing is that I've interviewed a few autistics who are former amish and hutterite who have told me that they didn't think they were autistic, because they just thought being autistic was just a normal type of guy.

It is going to blow your mind when you discover this niche religious movement that started around 2000 years ago that firmly opposed infant exposure long before the advent of modernity. (see epistle to Diognetus, 5:6)

Being pro life is a luxury belief that’s only made possible by modern advances in wealth, safety, and comfort. Ancients left infants to die of exposure, In nature, weak offspring are rejected by Mother. You cannot be pro life and endlessly complain about modernity.

A lot of non-autistics are often surprised to learn that a lot of autistics will identify as politically progressive/leftist but will also strongly reject the "progressive Christian" label. There are a lot of reasons for this, but it is mostly because of stuff like this:

It is funny because these guys are doing the same pandering seeker sensitive stuff that they always bash, but for the most annoying guy with a punisher tattoo who won't stop talking about how he would've been a SEAL but he would've punched his DI because he hates taking orders.

Prayer breakfast masculinity is dying. Pints and psalm-singing masculinity is growing. This is good. No, I’m not saying that “prayer breakfasts are wrong.” However, it’s worth noting that prayer breakfasts were initially started by women and later adopted by men in the

Literally watched this happen in Canada while everyone I talked to told me "This will never happen, you are being hysterical". Once suicide becomes a choice, for those that are perceived to be a burden, it will become an obligation.

I'm being autistic about the Episcopal Church's calendar again and now I can't find the tweet I wanted to reply to but SOMEBODY should know that St Remigius is one of the original minor feasts from when we started keeping them in the 1960s

I've become very deeply skeptical of people are "concerned" about autistic people being "harmed" when it comes to autism and trans stuff. 9/10 times these people don't care about autistic people are just looking for another cudgel to beat trans people with.

People deconstruct their faith because the burden of cognitive dissonance felt from a multitude of different factors related to the church and their faith outweigh the factors that are keeping them in.

Yeah, if there is one thing people with ADHD are known for, it's their meticulous planning, consistent scheduling, and ability to stick to a time based plan.

I'm begging people to learn like 1 thing about autism 1 (what used to be called Aspergers and High functioning autism) before declaring it fake. There is a lot of pop culture autism misinformation (and it is very annoying), but that doesn't mean it isn't real.

Autism is a thing that exists. Anyone who has met profoundly disabled non-verbal kids doesnt doubt it. But in popular-culture ‘autism’ is a laundry list of essentially normal, albeit quirky and obsessional, behaviours that do not, in of itself, indicate disorder/disability.

When you offering MAiD to disabled people with no near impending death it is telling other disabled people their lives are not of equal value or worthy of dignity when compared to their able bodied peers.

Autistics will be filling out a survey with an "other" option and be like "The author of this survey wants me to write an essay because the answer I want to give is B, but it isn't worded quite right" (Yes, I am going through my survey data again)

I think it is funny when people in the autism community are in denial about Elon Musk being autistic. IDK guys, he seems pretty autistic to me, but like one of the 14 year-olds in big brothers/big sisters that I have to go on long walks with to explain how to be normal to women.

I think a lot of autistic people are considered "cringe" not because they are lacking social skills, but because at the heart of cringe is sincerity and earnestness and autistic people just tend to approach life with a lot of sincerity and earnestness.

If you have a podcast or really anything no matter how big or small and you want me to come on to talk about my autism and Christianity research I will do it. Even if you just have questions and want to talk to me one to one, I'm more than happy to.

The people who ask me "But what can autistic people contribute to the church?" are simply not prepared to hear about our ability to do hyper-realistic bird calls in order to enhance traditional liturgy. Other use cases include coaxing pigeons out of cathedral rafters.

After studying autistic people for a very long time, I am convinced that there is a latent and unmanifested desire within us to be a wizard that the average neurotypical mind cannot comprehend and since actual magic doesn't exist they are reduced to cosplay and aethetics.

I hate how a lot of modern apologetics relies on the assumption that no one will actually read or study the things that you are talking about. So much of it is basically just presenting a series of hyper skewed and biased interpretations of history and hoping you don't notice.

I understand arguments about gender typology and things like that, but from my fairly extensive reading of church history, it seems pretty obvious that the reasons women were barred from those roles is because men thought they were worse on the basis of gender.

It genuinely bothers me now that I have come back to Christianity to think about how no one really cared to try do anything about it, no instruction, no catechism, no probing questions, they were just kind of happy to have me there and let me do my thing.

Have you ever wondered if autistic people were less likely to be Christian, and if so why? Well worry no longer, my podcast is now out and we spend the first 6ish episodes talking about this exact thing!
