Olga Bogdashina argues persuasively that, contrary to popular
belief, spirituality plays a vital role in the lives of many people
with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Drawing on interdisciplinary
research from fields as diverse as psychology, philosophy,
anthropology, linguistics, neuroscience and religion, as well as
first-hand experiences of people on the spectrum, she shows how
people with ASD experience their inner worlds and sense of self,
and how this shapes the spiritual dimension of their lives and vice
versa. She presents a coherent framework for understanding the
routes of spiritual development and 'spiritual giftedness' within
this group, offering insights that will inform understanding of how
to support and nurture spiritual wellbeing in people with ASDs.
This book gives a voice to both verbal and non-verbal individuals
on the autism spectrum whose spiritual experiences, though often
unconventional, are meaningful and profound. It is essential
reading for all those interested in the spiritual wellbeing of this
group, including pastoral carers and counsellors, ministers of
religion, spiritual leaders, parents and carers and individuals on
the autism spectrum.
