• 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 autism affect your relationship with God?

I mean...the immune system aspect seems variable, but that's the case for neurotypicals as well.
You need to stop dismissing such statements out-of-hand.
Google [giftedness immune dysregulation]
Google [autism immune dysregulation]
Me not needing something to that degree does not mean we should just be cut loose like a chick from the nest and be expected to flourish like our neurotypical peers.
ASD1 still has a severity level.
Are you being obtuse on-purpose?

I think lots of advice and 'techniques' i don't know how to say it, to live the christian life and fight and believe etc, doesn't work very well on me, NTs take this things and say to you to do, but i have issues sometimes doing them.

Sometimes they say i am very stubborn, when in reality i just 'don't get it' the same way they do.

The best thing that you can do is pray, go to an autism-friendly church and read your Bible. God will meet you where you are.

Do you feel your symptoms of ASD (anywhere on the spectrum) affect how your relationship is with the Holy One? Do you have doubts about being a Christian because of your uncontrollable demands for logic as we see it and all sentences having a literal interpretation?

absolutely relations with people and comprehension of the bible is hard for me

Even if it is hard, read through it anyway.
If you are Born-Again, the Holy Spirit will remind you what it says when He needs to.

True John 15 took me a while to comprehend. Now when a preacher preaches any passage I read I at least recognize it. I just need to read and re read thanks I agree
