I have been interested in your discussion (and I hope you are welcome to the
list Angela). I have a good friend who is a Christian and she has always
been kind and helped me, also she is very nice to do things for charities.
I am not religious myself because I find it very difficult to imagine, what
God would be like. I like Jesus and his ideas a lot but I just can't get
the idea of what God means. I think this is because I have trouble with
abstract ideas. My friend said, God is like your father, but I don't know
my father because he is divorced from my mother.

I am hoping you have good improvements in your situation and for all people
with Asperger.
