Hi, I’m Amanda.
I’m autistic and a pastor’s wife.
In addition to being the founder of Sensory Gated Art®, I write and speak about neurodiversity and Christian life.
The Neurodivergent Christian:
a guide to life
“The subjects of this book are not underserved in the Christian community - they aren’t served at all.
They are the quirky people, the socially awkward, the nervous wrecks, and the ticcers. They are the neurodivergent Christians and they carry an anointing and destiny to the church body that has long been ostracized, misunderstood, and even avoided. This pattern has led to rogue Christians, churchless believers, and even church hurt and trauma. They are isolated, discouraged, underutilized, and in danger of either a superiority complex or a reject complex - outside of the appreciation, accountability, and protection of the Church body.
This group needs to be seen, understood, and set loose on God’s mission just like any other believer. They deserve grace and mercy in turn because they often are first to give the same.
Autistic pastor’s wife, Amanda Hebert Hughes, shares her story alongside the testimonies of other neurodivergent Christians - to explore the world of neurodiversity, treatment, gender, sexuality, worldview, strengths, and destiny - all from a biblical worldview.
This evangelistic book sends a strong message of hope to a forgotten people and offers wisdom and insight to the Church who wishes to love them well.”©
