Hi, I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when I was 6 or 7. I am now nearly 26 years old and have overcome much of the social stuff that goes along with this diagnosis. This past year I have made a close friend (one of my first really close friendships) who is not of the faith. We are now roommates and over the past month I have recommited myself to the Lord after having been backslidden for the past several years. I am just wondering how to witness to this friend of mine as I struggle with the anxiety he may not want to be friends with me ( I know that shouldn't be a priority and that I should be more concerned with his soul and bringing him to Jesus and I have been praying about it for a few days now) any advice would be helpful!

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.

I'm not sure you actually need to "witness" to friends. Normally you'll talk about things that concern you naturally. I think if he knows how you feel and why, and sees how it affects your life, that's about all you need. That can be done over time without being very risky, unless he is so anti-Christian that just knowing what you believe upsets him. While I guess there are people like that, I think it's pretty rare.
