What is Autism?

Autism is a serious developmental disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and interact.
Autism spectrum disorder impacts the nervous system.

I found this info from a simple Google search but here's some more info below:

"Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that affects how Autistic people perceive the world, think and behave, and communicate and interact with others.

Put simply, Autistic people see, hear and feel the world differently to other people.


Autism is not an illness or disease and cannot be ‘cured’. Many Autistic adults consider being Autistic as a fundamental part of their identity.

Autism is a spectrum. This means that some people are affected more than others. For example, some Autistic people do not use verbal language, while others have excellent spoken language skills but may find it difficult to understand what other people mean.

While all Autistic people share some common differences in the way they see, hear and feel the world, they all have different strengths and abilities and challenges which affect their lives in different ways at different ages and in different environments.

No two people on the spectrum are the same."

I believe that Autistic needs are not acknowledged or catered for enough in the church and that church services for many of us Neuro-diverse people can be difficult to sit through leaving us feeling isolated.

But I also believe that God is mindful of us and will aid us in whatever difficult situations we face so there is always hope and also an opportunity for us to learn and grow.
