Father I’m disabled catholic who works with other disabled persons when I can. The other month my local preist from St Peter & Paul in blackwood nj gave me the anointing of the sick sacrament cause I’ve bee unable to get out of bed from severe depression. I’m on the spectrum and it’s very lonely. If you have any free time I’d love to speak with you.
Thank you, Father. I find that I can concentrate on your words better with the crucifix beside you, as in this video. I hope that you will continue to have a crucifix and a statue of Our Blessed Lady beside you when you talk to us. Also, I'm devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and The Holy Rosary. I look forward to your book as people with Autism often either are misunderstood or get overlooked in the Church! God bless. Peace and All Good. From a chronically ill Autistic Catholic living in the UK.
Father Matthew, I appreciate your work and insight so much. Having witnessed outright discrimination against my autistic child within the local Catholic churches, I am hoping to see better training for the priests and administrators in inclusion and reasonable accommodations. Do you know of training resources for this goal? Thanks so much.
Fr. Matthew, your giving us what many can’t see. We can give to them too. Listen, observe, accept, love, share and give. We want to be Givers too.
