new book
my new desk top is HERE!!!!!
now it's just matter of getting it ready to use.... haha
currently reading this book call the curious incident of the dog in the night-time that i would really recommend especially for teachers. it's written from the perspective of an autistic child and it’s fascinating. most autistic children are brilliant in subjects like math and science, but have no understanding of human emotions. they perceive the world literally and have hard time with abstract ideas. it made me think about the autistic student i have at school and wonder if it’s possible for him to know God or have a relationship with Him. Even though he says his prayers with the whole class before lunch, but now i’m thinking that it’s more for the sake of having a routine, since autistic children need routines as their “hiding place” in this chaotic world. i don’t know the answer to my own question…. but the thought of that just breaks my heart.

I've never thought about how autistic people can relate to God. That is a tough question. Since the gospel is for everyone, I believe that God opens the door for autistic people to worship him and love him, just like he does the rest of us. Human emotions help us relate to God, but the lack thereof doesn't prevent someone from worshiping God. At least, I hope not. :)
that's a good point, i'm sure God will find a way to make himself known regardless of people's disabilities. i personally don't know any autistic children or adults that are christians, but it would be neat to hear their testimony.
You have an outstanding good and well structured site. I enjoyed browsing through it » »
