The April 2021 edition of Living Lutheran magazine included an article I wrote, titled “The Power of an Autism Diagnosis: Tips to Make the Church More Accessible.” I’m thrilled to be getting the word out about autism accessibility in the church, beyond the two articles I’ve written for the Sparkhouse blog. As I explain in the post, I love being autistic, and autistic people will be autistic regardless of whether we get diagnosed; the beauty of a diagnosis is that it helps us understand why we are the way we are, and thus gives us tools we can use to advocate for ourselves.
