Episode 6 - Why Autistics Leave the church: Part 4 - Emotional Experience

This podcast is the summation of around 9 years of research into autistic Christian and ex-Christian sub-communities. Covering over 26,000 online autistics with interviews with over 450 Christian and Ex-Christian autistics, this podcast is trying to explain how autistic people interact with Christianity, the good, the bad, and everything in between.

In this episode, Jon, an Anglican autistic Computer Engineer from Canada, tries to explain the factors relating to the emotional experiences that lead to autistic people leave the church to Amy, an autistic Catholic from Australia.

You can find Jon on Twitter at @ChristianityOn and Amy at @ItBeganInThe90s If you would like to email Jon, to ask questions, book engagements, or if you are autistic and just want to talk to him, you can find the podcast email at the end of the podcast or send me a message on twitter, you can also join our discord. In this episode we didn't cover a very big and important part of the social experience of church for many autistics that deals with high control/high demand religions, we will cover that specifically in a later episode so we have enough time to effectively handle it.
