The Christian Aspie: Notes from the Blog
()
About this ebook
“I started writing this because God laid it on my heart some time ago to share my world with you. See, I have Asperger's Syndrome (it is on the autism spectrum). I am also a Christian. Many people don't see how these two things can exist within the same person. I know, however, that they can. I know other Christians with Asperger's and I know what is in my heart.
So this will be a journey, my journey, as I grow as a Christian and navigate this confusing, noisy, cluttered world as an adult with Asperger's Syndrome (we call ourselves Aspies - it's OK, it's politically correct).”
These words, written on September 21, 2010, began the first post on The Christian Aspie blog. Penned by Stephanie Mayberry, the subsequent 78 posts chronicled her walk with Christ and her struggles with Asperger’s.
This book captures those posts, the days she felt empowered and encouraged as well as the days she felt inept and “dis” abled. In addition to the full blog posts, the author has included notes that provide insight into details that may have been omitted as well as additional thoughts and considerations.
See the world through the eyes of a Christian Aspie and gain a better understanding of that world while seeing a powerful testimony unfold before your very eyes.

“I have fully submitted myself to God, presented myself as an empty, willing vessel for Him to use. And that is how He uses me. Writing is my ministry; it is my service to Jesus.” ~Stephanie A. Mayberry Stephanie A. Mayberry is a Christian author whose passion for writing has become her ministry. A widely published, professional freelance writer living in North Charleston, South Carolina, she is fulfilling her calling of ministry through her writing. As an adult with Asperger’s Syndrome, she ministers to other Aspies (people with Asperger’s Syndrome) through her blog, The Christian Aspie and several books she has written about being a Christian with Asperger’s Syndrome. She also uses her experiences with domestic violence to reach out to people who have been through abuse and help them find healing through Jesus. But God has also impressed upon her to write other titles as well. As she says, “God writes the words, I just hold the pen.” You can read Stephanie’s work in Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Power of Gratitude, Transition Magazine in Canada, Mobile RVing, HealthPlanSenior.org, and others. Upcoming projects include: Joy in Ashes – Stephanie’s firsthand account of God’s faithfulness and provision during an unspeakably difficult trial in her life. Boots on the Ground - Tells the story of Stephanie’s experiences working with FEMA in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy which devastated parts of New York and surrounding areas in October 2012. Stephanie is a full time freelance writer and portrait photographer living in North Charleston, South Carolina with her infinitely patient husband, C.W and her adored, “9 pounds of fury,” Chihuahua Gizmo.
