[nabs-l] having a hard time fitting in at church

[Joshua Lester]

They're wrong for teaching such nonsense!
Our church understands the disabled, because we've had several disabled people there, for years.
Blessings, Joshua

I was told that I  wasn't fowling gods word because I couldn't talk. And my sensory input is way, causing me to scream if things r too bright, loud, or if touched. Or handle any change. They thought I was dumb. They also thought  that I was cursing them out, when I would make sounds or sign, and that my blindness was my punishment for not letting them touch me.

At the other church, I am the only blind person? I am on the dance team. I still do not fit in, but I do try to do ad much ad I can, and try and be ne'er people with my interests. Have you tried finding people to talk to that have your interests?
