Just a silly potato letting you know you're not alone.

Hi! I'm Miya, your local neurodivergent Christian.✨

​

​

​

​

​

Here are some things I used to believe about myself:

​

❤️‍🩹 My imagination was an evil golden calf and my "secular" special interests needed to be repented from.

​

❤️‍🩹 I was the only Christian who struggled with hyperfixations and I wasn't allowed to open up about it too much because it's weird.

​

❤️‍🩹 Things I found joy and life in outside of strictly "Christian" activities were a waste of time at best and disgusting sins at worst.

​

❤️‍🩹 While the Cross is sufficient, I might lose my salvation if I didn't repent hard enough and be a "normal" Christian.

​​​

Then I met my faith mentor. And then I got my autism diagnosis.

​

In my ongoing journey of learning more about God's character and my own neurodivergent brain, I've felt my mind being renewed. I've learned to reject toxic theology and to not be afraid to question things. I now believe God loves my quirky brain, even when society sometimes doesn't. I believe that our creativity in all of its forms gloriously reflects the ultimate Creator. I don't think we need to imprison ourselves in this life, refusing to partake in anything that's not specifically Christian brand, in order to be "good Christians" (Colossians 2).

​

I know there are others out there who live with the shame I used carry, thinking it's a given. I hope to meet you where you're at and encourage you through my work.

​

Though it's not often talked about, being neurodivergent often means not fitting into the typical Christian mold. But that doesn't make us any less valid as Christ followers.

Did you know?

Even the simple act of listening to an autistic person and supporting their content helps to fight the stigma. If you're here now, you are helping, and I'm grateful.
