Sad, my "1 Autistic Christian vs 20 Normal and Socially Well Adjusted Christians who care about things that matter to most people" video proposal was just rejected, need to make another one ASAP

I had always joked 'what if refrigerator mothers were actually just autistic women' and since I've been reading more about Leo Kanner and his observations, I am no longer joking when I say that.

You should also not start conversations with "This morning, when I was reading pornography on the bus" and expect people to immediately understand that you were reading a work of 2nd wave feminist literature

most of autistic politics can be understood downstream of the question: Do you like being autistic?

Here at CoTS we love data driven analysis of Christianity subcultures. In the last podcast episode, I talked with @mburtwrites.bsky.social about her new book "The Myth of Good Christian Parenting" and how Christian parenting books relate to autism (spoiler: it is bad). Link below:

I love interviewing autistic Christians because you will ask them about Paul and they will say things like "if you think about it, he was a sort of Andrea Dworkin of his time" with complete sincerity.
