What does church feel like if you're autistic? And how can churches become places where autistic people truly belong?
John Allister - a Church of England vicar who is also autistic - shares honest stories, practical insights, and heartfelt letters to his younger self. He opens up a window into the joys and challenges of growing up autistic, discovering faith, and finding a place in the church.
Blending personal experience with down-to-earth guidance, John helps readers understand how autistic people experience the world, why inclusion matters, and what real welcome can look like. This book is for anyone who wants their church to be more open, kind, and full of belonging - whether you’re a church leader, have an autistic friend or family member, or are autistic yourself.
Warm, witty, and deeply human, Faith, Hope and Autism is a powerful invitation to see the church - and each other - differently.
John Allister is the founder of Neurodiverse Church, and the Vicar of St Jude’s Mapperley.
