I try everything I can, music, animation, art, programming, even Sports yet no one understands me!

It’s so hard to live with autism, and I’m wondering how I can get help. 😩

I honestly don’t really care, you are free to live your religion the way you want, but I don’t think it’s okay to bring that forward on a post about autism and mental health. How would you feel if someone else posted that “Allah can help them”? Your comment just feels pushy about your religion without providing any other useful input to OP’s problem.

I told them that because I really believe that the one person who can help them is Jesus and because I want them to get better. Do you have any advice that could help them?

Btw here is a video of someone with a mental illness where Jesus helped: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9a6U-BF-T6g

Whether or not I have advice for them is not part of the debate.

That video is just anecdotal evidence, there is also plenty of evidence of religions creating a lot of suffering, particularly mental health issues related to education due to beliefs (for example for LGBTQIA+ community, which has a lot of overlap with the neurodivergent community).

since @vaseltarp@lemmy.world likes history so much, they should take a look at the crusades, or the inquisition. Religion does enough evil things nowadays but those were real low points.

Fact is you are not even try to help them you are only trying to prevent them from trying if someone/something can help them.
