Priest with autism offers prayer resource for othersWhen one seeks guidance about how to improve in a particular sport, it is preferable to get it from someone who has played that sport. That is how Father Matthew P. Schneider, a member of the Legionaries of Christ, sees his goal in writing God Loves the Autistic Mind. He familiarises readers with words, e.g., stimming, that are an integral part of the autistic mind. Fr Schneider considers God Loves the Autistic Mind a “first attempt at enculturating the faith to autistics. Nonetheless, it is eye-opening for neurotypicals and one that autistic people might find affirming in their prayer lives.
