Autism and Spirituality by Olga Bogdashina
Spirituality plays a vital role in the lives of many people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Drawing on interdisciplinary research as well as first-hand experiences of people with ASD, Olga Bogdashina shows how people with ASD experience their inner worlds and sense of self, and how this shapes the spiritual dimension of their lives.
A powerful guide recommended for any spirituality collection and for any dealing with autism and its larger religious ramifications-- Midwest Book Review
The book is not about the spirituality of individual autistic persons but rather Olga Bogdashina is daring to try to chart a way through big and contested subjects... Indeed what is Autism like and how might what we learn of autistic understanding and experience shed light on spirituality more generally? -- from the foreword by Christine Trevitt, Emeritus Professor, Cardiff University
