Autism, Faith, and Healing: A Mother Responds to Her Daughter’s Question

Описание: That’s what our 20-year-old daughter said to us on the way home from breakfast—and it stopped us cold.

In this episode, we don’t rush to Scripture.
We don’t rush to fix.
We don’t rush to explain God away.

We talk honestly, as parents and as people of faith, about what it feels like when a child asks a question that exposes confusion, pain, and years of well-intended but incomplete language around healing, faith, autism, and identity.

This wasn’t a “gotcha” moment.
It was a gut punch—and an invitation.

An invitation to hold space instead of creating more confusion.
An invitation to examine how our theology, our parenting, and our certainty can unintentionally shape someone else’s faith.
An invitation to wrestle with this tension:

👉 What if God did heal… but didn’t erase the design of her brain?
👉 What if healing and wholeness aren’t the same thing?
👉 What if the more excellent way isn’t denial—but integration?

We talk about:

Parenting a child on the autism spectrum into adulthood

Where healing theology helped—and where it harmed

How faith language can boomerang years later

Why confusion doesn’t mean failure

And how God answers us with what we need, not always what we expect

This conversation is for parents, believers, and anyone who has ever wondered why their lived experience doesn’t match what they were told faith was supposed to look like.
