Confrontation in Autism
One of the main obstacles in Neurodivergence is gaining Trust.
I have been asked to write regularly for a Christian Charity dealing with addictions.
I’m still pondering the offer, a painful decision-making.
The position is appealing, they have top-grade reviews compatible with my medical skills.
So, what gives…?
Trust, from my autistic perspective.
Addictions are big in my line of work as EMT.
I know that 20 years of experience in the field are going to challenge them, and I hate any kind of confrontation.
I admit this is my problem, I don’t want to offend anyone, although Peaceful Confrontation is not offensive yet constructive.
Most professionals are wary of challenges, even more so when backed up by an organization, especially of religious affiliation.
Charities are mainly associated to religious institutions valuing Homogeneity.
On the other hand, Initiative is more valued by large Multinationals.
Neither is better or worse, there are pros and cons to each
Why worry about Trust?
This Charity is oriented towards Recovery by providing support to former addicts as in societal reintegration, honorably nevertheless!
My viewpoint is that Support must start at the very onset of Addiction, what they perceive as a “non-state of grace” in their Christian-Protestant faith.
I am Christian-Catholic, to highlight viewpoints further: the Catholic Church sees Addiction as Illness deserving Compassion, Protestantism as grave sin.
Also, most mentally ill necessitate life-long medication, an indispensable addiction in itself. Are these individuals not worthy of help?
Will my standpoint decline the offer?
How can I enquire without tempering my expectations???
And may God’s love be with you all
