I am writing an essay for university on autism and the role of the Church in inclusion and growth. And would appreciate some personal stories from Christians who also have autism or Asperger's syndrome to help with my research and possibly include aspects of in my work. If this goes really well I may look into further developing my essay into book form to be submitted for publishing. Below are some questions which may help guide your responses, but feel free to skip questions or post a free-form
response if you prefer. Unless you indicate otherwise I will assume that in submitting responses to this thread you are giving permission and are happy for me to quote and paraphase your response for use in my essay and possible book. Thanks in advance!
1. How would you describe your relationship with God?
2. Do you regularly go to Church, why or why not?
3. What kind of Church or Church groups do you go to?
4. What aspects of Church and Church community do you enjoy and which do you find difficult?
5. How has your Church/Church groups (or people within it) helped you to grow (not necessarily just spiritually) and be included?
6. How do you think your Church/Church groups could help you better feel included, grow and be involved?
7. How do you think the Church/Church groups could help people with autism in general?
8. How do you serve within your Church?
