“…Pastoral theology has more often discussed exclusion in society, following Thomas Reynolds' disability studies-based theology(2008). Even so, some theologians express unease with concepts from disability theory, such as ableism(Brock, 2022; Swinton, 2011). 22 This is in the context of an "empirical turn" towards theological ethnography(Kaufman, 2015;Marti, 2016).…”

To belong in the Christian tradition, we must be able to contribute to it. Yet neurodivergent Christians have rarely been enabled to tell our own stories about ourselves as a vital part of God's (neuro)diverse creation. In common with other autism research, academic theology is framed by pathologizing clinical paradigms of autism; neurodivergent people's situated knowledge about ourselves has not always been valued in the field. In this aut-ethnography, I use reflections from a decade of engaging with autism theology -often a painful experience of Othering -to frame a response informed by critical autism and neurodiversity studies. Drawing on lived theology from autistic research participants, I consider what our neurodiversity theologies have to offer to academic theology. Finally, I ask how theologians can do justly by speaking with, not for, neurodivergent people.
