Autism Spectrum Disorder
The Bible does not explicitly mention autism or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as this is a modern neurodevelopmental diagnosis that wasn't conceptualized until the 20th century. Biblical writers lacked the medical framework to describe conditions like autism, which involves challenges in social communication, sensory processing, and repetitive behaviors, affecting about 1 in 36 children today. However, Scripture offers timeless principles of God's love for every child, the inherent worth of all people, and encouragement for parents facing unique challenges. These truths apply directly to families navigating autism, emphasizing that no child is an accident or a mistake—each is fearfully and wonderfully made by God for a purpose.
