CA137 Why are autistics less religious? w/ Christianity on the Spectrum


Listen Later

I’m joined today by Jonathan Machnee, an autistic researcher who has conducted the largest English language ethnographic study of Christians and ex-Christian autistics (autism 1, or what was formerly known as Asperger’s Syndrome or high-functioning autism). His research has included data mining over 26,000 autistics and conducting over 500 interviews with autistic Christians and ex-Christians in order to understand the intersection between autism, Christianity, and nonbelief.
