Why do neurodivergent persons have such a hard time with religion and church?

[smahala1991]

I am ADHD and possibly autistic (never had a proper diagnosis, but a lot of people think I am). To be honest I have a hard time with church sometimes. I believe in spirituality and believe in God and Jesus, but I just can't worship like them. For one I can't stand long enough for long worship sessions that tend to go on for 20-30 minutes while they repeat the same lyrics 40-50 times ( exaggeration a bit, but you get the jest). I also have a hard time paying attention to preaching, although I would say I'm pretty good with a bit of bible knowledge. Is it just me? Am I incapable of understanding? Or, is it i just need better connections?

A lot of neurodivergent people have trouble focusing for long periods of time

Probably same as can't concentrate in school class, same during church study. Same as any subject, and if Ritalin helps you, try it before church too.

No worries mate. Millions of people have a hard time with church and they're not neurodivergent at all !!
