I try everything I can, music, animation, art, programming, even Sports yet no one understands me!

It's so hard to live with autism, and I'm wondering how I can get help. 😩

I told them that because I really believe that the one person who can help them is Jesus and because I want them to get better. Do you have any advice that could help them?

Btw here is a video of someone with a mental illness where Jesus helped: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9a6U-BF-T6g

Whether or not I have advice for them is not part of the debate.

That video is just anecdotal evidence, there is also plenty of evidence of religions creating a lot of suffering, particularly mental health issues related to education due to beliefs (for example for LGBTQIA+ community, which has a lot of overlap with the neurodivergent community).

Fact is you are not even try to help them you are only trying to prevent them from trying if someone/something can help them.

The votes on your original comment tells me I'm not the only one thinking that kind of suggestion is not very welcomed into this community.

I think you would be better off trying to sell your parasocial relationship with antiquity dude to other people on the internet than here.

I don't give a f* what those people think if there is a chance that someone could get help.
