  • Description

    Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of several neurodevelopmental disorders that can cause developmental deficits or differences in brain processing that impair a person's functioning in many different settings. ASD in the United States is estimated to affect at least 1 to 2 percent of the population.

    How can Christians minister well to those who exhibit the struggles typical of this condition? Counselor and physician Michael R. Emlet offers a concise minibook that helps readers thoughtfully and compassionately apply a biblical worldview when serving children and adults on the autistic spectrum. He briefly describes ASD, discusses general strategies for ministry, and integrates insights from current medical research. Though this is a complex and often poorly understood experience, this resource provides a basic framework for supporting members of the ASD community by applying the truth of Scripture alongside medical understanding.
