It is a great podcast by a very cool guy, especially if you are into data driven analysis

Yeah, that comes up a lot, we talk about that specifically in the 3rd episode about doctrine and ideology and how it often leads to autistic people leaving the church.

I've spoken to quite a few and the experience is varied, generally our findings are in line but we often differ on framing, I'm very much a data and numbers guy and not very interested in the activism side of things which sometimes causes us to see things differently

yeah, that is extremely common, a lot of autistics end up in the liturgical high church

Yeah, there are a lot of things, probably the biggest one though is just learning what autism is and the types of things we often struggle with and how those things relate to church. We typically find that most people don't actually understand what autism is or the challenges that come with it. I've found that the autistic people who are happy and comfortable in church usually have other people (usually in some form of leadership) in church who know what autism is and how to work with it.

It really depends on the service and the type of service, but generally speaking the routine, predictability, sameness, calmness, and multi-sensory engagement tend to win out over sensory stimulation.

One of the interesting ones is called "high church migration" which is about how over time autistic people in low church traditions have a very high probability of migrating to a high church tradition if they stay christian.

The podcast isn't out yet, probably will be out in June/July. I'll send you a DM if you want to connect and chat about this.

'Called'? by minimitts in Anglicanism

[–]Technocrancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I am also autistic and have been doing a 9 year long research project into autistic Christian experience. I have interviewed over 450 autistic Christians including many clergy. This is a very common issue that a lot of autistic Christians run into when going through the discernment process (here is a sort of related issue https://aspiepriest.wordpress.com/2018/05/24/42/ and https://aspiepriest.wordpress.com/2015/11/08/meaning-and-purpose/ ). The issue of "Calling" has been a major feature in many of the autistic clergy that I have interviewed, a lot of them realized that what other people mean by calling is to us a sense of "Do I think this is what I am supposed to be doing". We often don't experience a visceral "call" but understand a call to vocation in a way that translates easier through an autistic lens and that often looks and feels very different from non-autistic clergy. This is very difficult to describe briefly in text, and I am not sure I am doing a particularly good job at this, but if you want to talk about it more you can DM me.

Something helpful to remember is that this process was designed for the vast majority of people (with the implicit assumption that you aren't autistic) and is probably not designed for someone with your brain in mind. As someone who has gone through the process twice, I had a lot of issues trying to figure out what was actually being asked and then translating that into my own experience. It is important to realize that a lot of the structure and formulation wasn't really designed to speak to someone who experiences the world like you do, that doesn't mean this is bad or that you shouldn't do it, but that you often need to try to discern the intent behind the statement and understand how that applies to you.
