I wonder what comes to mind when you hear the word “autistic”?

Perhaps you think of recent speculation about rising numbers of diagnoses? Or you might think of those on a mission to cure autism? Maybe you think of a family member or friend?

Or you could be like me: an autistic Christian who is trying to navigate life in a way that is pleasing to God, striving to grow and be sanctified, while also being (constantly!) humbled and reminded of my own weaknesses and difficulties.
