My faith has given me strength and inspiration in times of my life when there has been little else.When my son was diagnosed at first one thinks all kinds of terrible things but when I gave those feelings and thoughts to my God then he filled me with understanding and love.The pressure was lifted and a new direction given.Although most of younger life was in the Baptist faith and I turned from it for a very long time it has been this same faith now that give me the strength and hope from now which i cope daily.My beliefs are much more open than in my past but that is alright.I strive now to be a good person and not be judgmental towards anyone as I don't wish to be judged either.Nor do I wish my son to be.I try to raise my children to be helpful,kind,understanding,loving and genuine people.More optimism/hope is needed towards autism and the people/familes dealing with it.That is where I am now and I live to be all i can and fulfill the hope associated with it.I will say autism has given me much more than it has taken from me.My son is a blessing to my life and my growth as a person and HE meant it to be this way!!.Acceptance and attitude is all it took,the sun shines in my life now and I love that HE has opened my heart and eyes to appreciate the beauty shown by it's light.

This is very encouraging to hear someone share how their faith in God has and is helping them with this. I am in complete agreement with you when it comes to there needing to be more hope AND optimism towards autism. This is a very important subject to me and my family. Thank you for sharing your story.
Blessings!

I was a server in our local church so many years ago .. I am not sure I '' believed '' but the vicar was special [ yes a man ] I found out that he had special permission because it was across Parish Boundaries - if only a bike ride away !
When I came out with ASD and Miss Alignment ,
I had a dream [ ? ] that SHE was welcoming me into HER people , as someone who could be there for her other tomboy people ... my friends say that I ever seem to be taken care of ... and , when I am listening to a lost little girl ... there seem to be women who have gone before advisiing me ... not '' wise '' just ordinary , but with more knowing than I could ever learn .
Maybe you will say that my mind is creating this as a comfort , but I don't know ... what I need to know , understand just seems to be there for me ...
ASD messes up a lot ,,, it just feels so real ... so ordinary , somehow , if this makes sense .
Do I believe ? I just had to .

Oh my gosh!!!!! You are an inspiration. I have been fighting this thought that I will never get through this. God is faithful, I know he is. I try to give this to God on a daily basis but seem to always pick it back up. I am Pennicostal, I completely beleive in God's willingness and ability to heal but maybe I just need the acceptance of my son's autism. Maybe there is something for me to learn through this after all. Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I want my eyes to be opened the way He opened yours, say a prayer for me when He brings it to your mind. Thanks!!!!!

I believe God brought me and my Aspie Fiance together. Right when we both were at our wits end, ready to give up all hope in love and in life when by one last chance we met. We both been through so much in life and suffered too long with the world and the problems it dealt us in life. So God had us meet so we could finally know what love was like and to have someone treat us the way we deserve. To know the loving caring understanding ways that people have between each other.
I looked to the night sky one night and I said aloud to the stars about my Fiance " Thank you for bringing us together! I will never take your gift for granted. He is what I always dreamed of in a man, what I always wished for. Thank you!" Then in my thoughts I heard this response " It is not a dream come true or a wish that I granted but a prayer you asked me to anser and so I did. I brought you two together, but now it is up to you to make it work. I will help you but not do it for you." .....So just like that I heard that and was like "WOW" did I just really hear that? It is amazing how God works.
My Fiance and I may have rough times but we can handle it because we finally have each other in life to deal with those times TOGETHER! And of course to all the people here who help me and each other out too so much. I thank God for my Fiance and for all of you. THANK YOU :)

Without faith, it's really difficult to deal with many things in life! It's my faith that has gotten me through the trials and tribulations with my Aspie daughter and it's faith that has kept my husband and I together for over 24 years! I believe that a marriage has 3 people in it: husband,wife and God!
Angel Kitty...may you and your fiance have a long and happy life together...keep the faith!
