Religion's not a crutch or symptom but a coping skill: a cautionary tale

Years ago when I didn't know about AS I tried blindly to imitate the normals by "putting away childish things," suppressing my special interest in religion, leaving a perfectly good church-related job I'd held for a year and a half (an accomplishment for a young AS person) for a better-paying secular one (the thing you're supposed to do). Of course removing that behavior guide/coping skill made the AS worse so in three months I was fired.

Whether there's a God or not, if it works don't fix it!
