Prayer Support

[Dan S]

Hello.
I am fairly new to this website and have come to ask for help. My parents told me in 2012 that I have high functioning autism and that was a blow. It is always hard for me to be a sociable person and maintain relationships. I just get very frustrated at times that I cannot have my own people to be around with. I go to a good high school now but still unsuccessful. I have been attending mid week youth groups, but sometimes I would think why should I go if I am a doubter and not a doer of gods word?
Other prayer request is that I would stop looking at erotic content on my phone, mom, and grandma be saved.
Dan.

Just give yourself time, Jesus paid the price for our sins. Dont be so hard on yourself, change takes time.

Hey, Dan. I have Asperger's and I've had a lot of the same frustrations you've had for most of my life. It really does take time to develop the right skills which will lead you toward where you want to be. Remember, your condition isn't a restriction, you just function at your own unique pace; once you meet the people who can connect with you at that pace, it'll be incredibly rewarding.

Continue to trust in God. Trust in him to boost your spirit and restore your clarity. You'll feel better and that confidence will drive you away from temptation and closer to new social opportunities. Praying for you.

Thank you all very much for your prayers and support.
I am normal to some degree, (thank God,) except for the social part. (The most important part but inferior one.) Probably because of my narrow special interests. (Ex. GTA video game series or airplanes.) It's nice to know that I can drive a car and licensed, knowing that other people on the spectrum are unable to do so.
I hope that I don't regret not having fun in high school once it's done and over with. Still have senior year left.

Update: Since all of the bad erotic content i watch was on my old phone, i now have new iphone 6! yay, hoping for a new clean slate. this time i put restrctions on the phone to filter websites. I call the old phone i had "contaminated." had that iphone 5 for 3 years. thank God.

Dan, hang in there. I have a son that is very similar, but a bit younger and not into the erotic stuff yet. Went from straight A's to failing HS. My guess is puberty has something to do with it and that doesn't last forever. Video games are his main focus as it sounds like they are to you.

College will be much better if its your plan. You can pick and chose what classes you take.

As far as the Church groups go, don't beat yourself up. Every Church and group is made up of Hard core believers and those with high levels of doubt. You are there to learn Gods word/works and share your experience. Pretty much only one person was ever born a perfect believer.

Hang in there and my prayers are with you for sure

Good luck, Dan. Stay strong and remember that even if sometimes life is hard for you, it's hard for everyone else, too. I myself would love to learn social skills better since I'm worried that if I don't I'll be this jerk (I used to be a jerk), but the most important thing is to live for Christ. Anything that the experts say autistic people "can't" do or "lack" hasn't met the power of God yet
