I see you have received many nice answers. Please do not rely on people, we are all the same. Rely on God's Love. GOD IS LOVE. Build your life on the rock whose name is Jesus Christ. Build on His Love for you. Stay close to Him, so that He can guide your life. He will always be there for you to support and provide for you. He loves you and wants you to live with Him in Heaven happily for ever. You don't have to do anything for Him to love you or to approve you, because He loves you, because He is Love Himself. He loves us not because for who we are but because we are His bros/sisters, His friends, His mates. He sees your struggles, He sees how much you try to please him and I think He is very very pleased with you. You don't need any approval by people, they are useless. The criteria for someone to be successful in life according to people is someone to be famous and rich and powerful like that rich man in the Bible, who by the way is now tortured in Hell. The criteria for us to be successful in life is to answer back His love for us and build our lives on Him. Don't be afraid, your life is in His hands. Relax and keep going hapilly your way.
But have you ever considered that God can heal you? The gospels are full of people who went to Jesus with faith in their heart and they ALL received what they needed. Those were written as examples for us what to do and what to expect from God. So if I were in your shoes I would have thought to keep going to Him persistently (like that widow to the unrighteous judge) until I get the solution to my problem. I think this is what God wants us to do when we are in any need. So just get with you as much faith as you have in your heart and keep asking. And I believe God will answer back.
Matthew 7:7-8. "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall it shall be opened"
I am sorry that you have felt unaccepted by so many. I can honestly say that as an educator of very young children, even we teachers are not very well trained to understand autism nor how to bring out the best in such people. We are woefully inept at meeting the needs of autism (and most conditions that require that the person receive specialized education. So, that said, I really don't think that the general public know much about autism and therefore it's expression in a person makes people feel uneasy and feeling the need to distance from one who is autistic. I don't think people really want to hurt someone's feelings by rejecting them. Rather, I just think that people withdraw from one they do not understand and do not know how to interact with one with autism. But even so, there are those who are mean to people who differ from themselves, and this is very hurtful.
Giuliano, I pray that God will draw some wonderful friends into your life soon who love the Lord and can benefit greatly from your contribution to their lives. May these people be knowledgeable about autism as well as very willing to keep up friendships with you over the long haul. Such friends are few and far between in most people's lives unless they are really outgoing, which isn't usually a characteristic of one with autism. But your fantastic memory skills will bless your friends over and over again as you continue to share Scripture from memory with them.
And above all of this, everyone has the challenge of learning how to be content and satisfied in our relationship with God, discovering that He truly is enough for all of our needs. Keep close to Him and He will help you in your other relationships and bring healing to you from the hurts and disappointment that comes from rejection and mistreatment from other believers. That is a sad thing to happen to anyone. My best to you today, Giuliano.
We as humans all have been rejected, some more than others. I am sorry if you feel Christians reject you the most it is their fault, not yours the love of Jesus is not in them. That does not define who you are if you have faith in Jesus as your savior you are a member of a family, a child of God. If you can memorize bible verses, you do better than me I struggle to do that.
People can be cruel, out of fear, or ignorance, and some are just downright mean, and worst of all they call themselves Christian. Recognize who you are, you are a child of God and we one day will be consumed by a wave of peace and love we cannot even imagine. Realize we do the best we can and if we are doing that no one on this earth can do better. I know it is hard and I wish I had the words to make it better. Remember the ones who reject us are the ones with the bigger problem, you can make a difference in this world.
I am sure others on this site will have better words for you, I do know you can come on this site, and no one will reject you, you will be welcome anytime.
Dear Merrily, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I can speak for myself that I'm a Christian and I certainly haven't rejected anyone with autism. Those I know who care for and love friends or family members with this condition I can also say have not been rejected by them. Can you please share why you feel this way? God bless you.
I am truly ashamed. I was a single mom when my son's dad and I had gotten the official diagnosis for my son. He is now 19. I was so upset I lost it in front of my son. I slammed my stuff down on the coffee table and yelled out loud in front of my son. "I have a retard for a kid!" My son just stood there at 5 looking blankly up at me. The look on his sweet face with his big brown eyes brought me to my knees. I felt the most heart wrenching pain in my chest. I was so HUMILIATED that I had given up on this beautiful boy. I remember that and it haunts me to this day. I think I was just feeling sorry for myself and not wanting to face the real truth that my son was NOT ATYPICAL like most other children are. I myself have a brain injury and congenital heart problem. I was always compared to others being told." You can NEVER do that." You will never do this. Always falling short of the standard "quo" expectations. My dad left and I felt like it had something to do with me. I had brain damage at 19 when my heart stopped. I was talked down to by my dad's "Wife". She always made me feel less than. A big 0. No this is not about me. This is my ONLY SON. The most extraordinary human being I've ever known. He loves unconditionally and I fear for him in this big cruel world we live in. He will be hurt, taken advantage of or used. I have seen the miraculous beauty of whom he is. He keeps me young at heart and loves me no matter what. Never let ANYONE tell you that you are not good enough. You are PERFECT in God's eyes. Jesus LOVES you! Christians like myself have been very hypocritical and we all fall short. You have a very SPECIAL reason for being who you are created to be. Each day my eyes are opening more and more to the beauty INSIDE of us. Jesus LOVES YOU! Everything in His time. God bless you! Love will find a way.
