Attendees listen to talks during General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City on Saturday, Sept. 30, 2023.
Tribune guest columnist Natalie Brown suggests that neurodiversity may help explain, for instance, why some women view the faith as sexist and other women don't.I recently heard an anecdote in which a local authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints asked women in a congregation to raise their hands if they felt equal at church. Half the hands went up. The other half stayed down.
I suggest that the different ways we experience church — as well as the divisions and frustrations that often characterize Latter-day Saint culture — are partially a product of neurodiversity. I use the term “” to include medical diagnoses such as autism or anxiety disorder as well as differences in emotional intelligence, extroversion versus introversion, or even differences in the primacy we give to learning through texts versus learning through experience.
