    Hyper-wired: Reflections of a Christian on the Autism Spectrum

    If it were possible, I would love to hear about if autistics begin to understand the gospel later than their peers.

    Hyper-wired: Reflections of a Christian on the Autism Spectrum

    As a fellow autistic who is high-functioning, I found your blog very interesting, compelling, and accurate. I am intelligent, have decent social skills (not up to par with people my age but I get by because of my mature demeanor and being a great friend), but I have poor coping skills despite...

    Our family is at a crossroad and don't know where to go (please help)

    I am not a parent but I have dealt with what your daughter is dealing with. 1) Do not under any circumstances yell at, preach at, or berate your daughter for her struggle. 2) Pray privately for her. 3) Let her come to you with anything at any time. Listen and give your advice. 4) What...

    How To Believe In Your Heart?

    To the OP, do not worry about only getting softly convicted of your sins or not being afraid of hell as a Christian. The good things is that you are being convicted of your sin- it doesn't matter if it is soft or hard- conviction is conviction. Since I became a Christian- I have not been afraid...

    Finding The Right Translation For Me/You

    Go with whatever is easiest for you to read. When I was little I read the KJV, then the ICB (the easiest but I had to switch because the commentary was juvenile and I would be frowned upon for reading a bible with juvenile commentary- a sad day), then the NIV (lots of people in my church think...

    New Christian needs help with denominations (as in terms of what I align with the most)

    When I visited Seacoast Church in Charleston on vacation, I received communion, lighted the candle, wrote a prayer and put it on a cross (whatever type of stuff that is called) - it was a very Spiritual and cathartic expetience; needless to say I felt closer to God afterwards so that stuff is a...

    New Christian needs help with denominations (as in terms of what I align with the most)

    I believe that Homosexual sex and homosexual dating relationships are sinful and is not greater/worse than other sin (in the same way that I believe that all sexual activity outside of a 1 man 1 woman marriage is sinful)- but that every sin except failing to have a personal relationship with...

    "He said WHAT now?!" Are you a potty-mouth?

    I cuss occasionally and usually in private (I mean about 1-2 times per month or less)but I don't have anything against it. Frequent cussing personally annoys me though (I don't think it's sinful to frequently cuss; if you do cuss its best that it's useful and not just to cuss).

    Is it okay for Christians to watch horror movies?

    Yes if you don't believe that the stuff is real.

    What's your room like, and how would you change it if you could

    My room is about 150 square feet which is plenty for me. I have a TV, cushioned rocking chair, mushroom chair, lamp, clothes drawers, a twin bed, and a bookshelf with a digital clock on top. The only things I would change about my room would be have a queen bed instead, and to renovate the...

    Why is my cat acting this way?

    If cats are of the same gender, it's going to end badly. If one of the cats has an aloof personality or is a breed known for having an aloof personality (towards other cats or animals), that will be a problem. My 7 year old Maine Coon has an aloof personality towards other animals and hates...

    I can't be the only one who loves rap

    I actually love the style of rap (Christian and secular) but I don't know of which rap artists to start with (in terms of buying songs from iTunes).

    Why can't God give ma a very good-looking woman?

    Before I start I am putting some disclaimers on the record , I believe that all humans are equally loved by God and equally important in God's eyes. Nobody except God/Jesus is better than anyone else who has walked on this earth. I also oppose objectification of humans and the like. I am here...

    OCD of sinning

    I hate to burst your bubble but I am doing this to help you as I hope that you fully recover. I'm afraid that there is not much else you can do (especially given the level of your OCD) to get better from this except to go to a therapist and possibly go on medicine. I'm no psychologist though...

    Wii game suggestions

    Look for games with replay value (not the types that you play, beat the game, and move on) as I have had better experiences with those types (Mario Kart and Wii Sports have high replay value).
