I’m pretty sure my daughter and husband are high-functioning Aspies, although they will never be formally tested for it. They are both deeply religious. And both of them found kindness and respect at our church, for the most part.
They are both good defenders of the faith because they have no interest in “going along to get along”. As introverts, they are not too upset if they are “uncool” as long as they have a couple of friends and a happy home.
Same here. What is odd (to me) is that for many people being uncool is worse than death. I know of people who have left my congregation because they didn't get invited to some Bible Study's Potluck.
