I'm sorry, what do you mean? Autistic Christian here

I see you are in or from SA? America has a strong anti-intellectual bias. This shows up as suspicion of science, suspicion of experts, and suspicion of higher education. It shows up as openness to conspiracy ideation. Isaac Asimov's 1980 article "Cult of Ignorance" expounds upon this very bias...

Evidence increasingly suggests we either mask or destroy the economy. The economy is worth it, and worth more than my right to shop barefaced

Agreed, moisture droplets per see are not a major disease risk. However in cases of viral disease, the moisture droplets carry the virus within them, and if they come in contact with a mucus membrane, say the nose, mouth or eyes of a healthy person, then that person may contract the disease...

The Christians who voted for Trump were operating in God's will. My question is was it God's perfect will or His permissive will? And would that answer be different depending on the individual Christian?

Motherofkittens gives great advice. Social interactions wear me out, that sound normal for an aspie. Also, the emotional thing. I seem to sense when someone close is feeling a strong, relatively unmixed emotion. I find my perceptions are very quickly drawn to people suffering or in some misery...

Hi. You are not alone. I read about aspie success stories and it makes me glad. At 55, I don't think I have one in me anymore, at least not in the job force. But I am a success in my own house and I am a hero to my grownup children and my grandchildren love me dearly, despite the fact that I...

Intellectual-Christian had what I think was solid, affirming advice. My advice would be this. Consider your strengths. Carefully consider, in an interview, maybe being upfront about it and why that's a plus. Not a lot of variety and special needs (on the part of employers) mabe at your level...

I seem to be going through a complex identity crisis, 2 days before my 55th birthday, and a big part of it relates to my diagnosis (autism) my faith (elect of Christ) and what's happening in christendom in America (apostasy?) But then I read the above referenced document and saw that this isn't...

Hi. I am the soon to be 55 year old autistic husband to a nt wife of over 35 years. Has he read the love languages book? If he likes analysis, he might enjoy it. Also, try to pique his curiosity by trying out some online tests. And point out that not fitting into the family's way of...

The name of this thread is a paper at the Journal of the American Academy of Religion, in which I read "Other autistic traits cited by autistic Christians on the forums as prelapsarian spiritual abilities include sincerity (Autism & Aspergers, 18 December 2005), loyalty (Wrong Planet, 30...

what if guving up that liberty, say when you are about to die for it could be seen as a stratrgy to rest and regroup and live to fight another day, maybe with better odds or resupply or to wait for an ally who is on the way to take your back?

I am under the impression that the GOP on average is more hawkish than the Democratic party, and I didn't need the poll to arrive at that conclusion. Is that conclusion considered highly debatable?

See my avatar? I am an Ambassador Emeritus of Vulcan. Only kidding, and I feel that needs to be said for the benefit of some:)

As the GOP lurches toward neofascism, or anarchism in the case of the libertarian wing, I am begining to see signs that evangelicals want to distance themselves from its extremism. I believe Billy Graham was right, if somewhat hyperbolic, when he said the hard right has no interest in religion...
