@LDSchurchtrue @auntietravis @OchoZaco Ben, do you believe in being honest in your dealings with your fellow men?

@auntietravis @OchoZaco Cool. All pastors I talked to investigating told me my baby who died in infancy was going to hell for not being baptized and my family in Nigeria was condemned to hell. LDS are the only ones who gave me reasonable answers. As I’ve grown in my faith after converting it changed me.

Here’s my honest take: It seems to me that Joseph Smith took ideas from his era and added flair. His mom said that as a kid he used to entertain his family at night by telling stories about Native Americans (this comes from journal entries of Lucy Mack Smith).
From my research JS was absolutely charismatic.

@busy_bee_me Hang out with me like a friend. Go out for lunch, go to the park together, have a game night or movie night.

you can’t really reduce low support needs/verbal autism to being simply socially awkward though. yes in some ways you can learn how to perform better socially but that’s masking & leads to burnout. autism at its core is a processing disorder. it goes way beyond social faux pas.

People need to realize that unless u are severely (like non verbal) autistic, being “socially awkward” is something you can fix with practice. Social skills are like any skills: some people are born w natural ability, most people have to learn thru practice

Understanding autistic people is a skill like any skill. Some people are born with natural ability, most people have to learn through practice
