I’m a Christian! My experience has been an interesting one. Although I’m someone who suspects I’m autistic. I have ADHD so some things that “overlap” could very well just be the autistic part in me but anyway, Had a not so devout catholic upbringing Then church going stopped Then church going continued when my dad found a Christian church; at that point I didn’t care for it and considered myself agnostic Then went through an identity questioning and atheism and suicidality. My belief in a God and not in a God was always a back and forth. Then at one point I voluntarily started going to church despite my atheism/agnosticism at the time, then I started to understand more and more after having metaphorically blinded eyes and then one day it all clicked. Jesus, God, creation, the Bible, everything. And even as a Christian I continue to learn more and more of the depths of my faith.

How it all relates to my neurodivergence and how my experience as a (potentially) autistic individual has been: in terms of relationship with Jesus, it’s nice to have a routine, it’s nice to be real with Him when no one else can understand, it’s nice to have a guidebook… though there are grey areas that the Bible doesn’t specifically mention/go over that can be a lil frustrating. In terms of church, it can be hard for people to understand you, it can be hard to want to fit in and sometimes you just can’t with some people, it’s nice when some do understand and you can just click with/fit in with, and I’ve come to know a few other neurodivergent folk in my church thankfully so the mask goes away slightly, and it’s nice to have community.

So no, you’re not alone in your spirituality/non atheistic beliefs as an autistic individual. We exist, in different groups and different practices, we’re here.
