• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Does God give Asperger's to some people so that they can get closer to Him?

I have asperger's as well. You have given me hope because I had none before. I hope God takes us both and touches our minds and heals us.
I have aspergers too and struggle daily with my faith. How can I have faith in a God that neat me at birth woth the stick called Aspergers? I have no relationships, not much support, live at income based in a place that's awful, and zero talents or skills in any area. I rely almost 90% on my folks financially who are toxic and verbally abusive. I am trying to find the faith but it's hard when this life he gave me seems to be just to show others how dumb he couldve made them. I do have my health. But it doesn't mean much if I can't work full time and can't ever get anywhere. It feels like God takes my hopes away before I ever opened my eyes.

I am sorry to hear that you are having such a bad experience.
Are your parents either your representative payees or legal guardians?
Do you have an autism-competent therapist?
If you do not, see...
