Hi everyone. I'm Charlie, 19 from Leeds, UK.
I want to say a bit about myself.
Firstly, I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome several months ago after wondering for so long what was wrong with me and why I couldn't relate to people amongst all other things.
I feel so liberated after having been diagnosed and pretty much everything in my life makes sense.
I'm also semi-new to Christianity.
I was raised CofE in primary school but at the age of 12 I decided to become pagan and I've been pagan ever since.
But I realise I want to be christian. I want to fully accept Jesus into my life.
I sometimes like to go to York Minster because it's so beautiful. I've noticed that whenever I go in there (or indeed any other church) I have this wierd feeling.. like butterflies in my stomach and it really does feel like love. It feels like the love of Christ is present within me and I wish to cherish this.
I've realised I feel more aware of my surroundings if I acknowledge Christ. I actually feel more connected to the world which I think can really help me with my Asperger's.
I've only really been looking into becoming a Christian again for the past few days, and I've learnt a lot already (in true Aspie fashion! haha) but I really do want to learn more about Jesus and acknowledge him in my life and I feel so strongly about it.
I stumbled across this forum in google because I was looking for fellow Aspies who are Christian. I would love to learn more from my fellow brothers and sisters
