"How much do I love? How often in my life does the pronoun 'I' disappear, replaced by the words: they, we, he, or she? In this we have a very simple yardstick of love." -Catherine Doherty

We need to move from outward physical signs of devotion to an inward heart completely fixed on devotion to God.

@EWTN @goodreads "Fr. Schneider states that autistic people can even have the ability to stim while praying! There is something that catches my attention when he says: 'God... also allows that same stimming to help us come to him.'" -Angello Forero on @Catholic_365 53/ catholic365.com/article/49003/…

Before living a moral life, Christians are called to live a spiritual life of receiving God's graces.

"Properly Christian and distinctly Catholic theological reflection on the dignity and destiny of the human being begins and presumes the absolute goodness, truth, and beauty of the Creator: the Triune God, above all descriptions." -Miguel Romero

My Review (cited on Amazon) for this new book: “Kochis provides a great practical Catholic guide to raising autistic kids. It seamlessly combines elements of Catholicism, autism, & general advice for mothers to provide a useful book for moms.” amazon.com/Quirky-Catholi…

Silence is an important part of prayer. We often reduce it to lack of noise, but it really is opening up space for God to talk. I use analogies of dark & light to explain it in this reflection. frmatthewlc.com/blog/2026/03/0…

If you recognize this photo, you are either into niche economic theory, autistic, or way into Wikipedia (with a lot of overlap among those groups).

@anhangatra @GordaChechona This is clearly a porn promotion. If that they are thinking of autism = legal child with that, then this is extra sick (legal adult but pedophilic dynamic). x.com/FrMatthewLC/st…

Fr Matthew P. Schneider, LC@FrMatthewLC

This is super sick & disturbing: it claims "autism" but is secretly an ad for infantilized pornography. I was a little suspect with the unrealistic super-high angles & the overly childlike actions without other autistic traits, but did not have sufficient evidence. Then someone did the research to show this in the proposed community note: "Though autism can cause behaviours that may appear/be misunderstood as childlike, this is infantilisation. This is an ad for a sex work page, not autism. If you look on her tiktok, it promotes her IG which promotes her OF." [I'm not sharing the links, nor did I click, for obvious reasons.]

@NoNonsenseND I thought the same thing. It's also filmed from really high to give an impression of child-like. (I'm 6'3" & even with a 5'2" person I know, I don't get this high of an angle.)
