Why are so Many Autistic Christians Universalists?
This podcast is the summation of around 10 years of research into autistic Christian and ex-Christian sub-communities. Covering over 26,000 online autistics with interviews with over 500 Christian and Ex-Christian autistics, this podcast is trying to explain how autistic people interact with Christianity, the good, the bad, and everything in between.

In this episode, I try to explain why autistic Christians are more likely to be Universalists based on my 10 years of research into autistic Christians.

I think neurodivergent people, many of them, do back this viewpoint, but I have met several people I know are autistic one diagnosed two undiagnosed who are strongly in the camp of annihilationism or maybe eternal conscious torment depending on the day LOL. That’s anecdotal evidence, but I do find that a lot of autistic folk I know are very strongly oriented with justice and believe that it is really important. In my personal circle full of neurodivergent folk, it looks like a split.
