"Neurodivergent" = people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
If you'd love to hear more about what we do and how you can be a part of this movement, schedule an appointment with us by clicking below!
To begin, it’s important to know what “neurodivergent” means. Very simply, it’s anyone with an autistic or ADHD brain, and “neurotypical” is anyone without. There are three main areas where we observe differences:
1. How our brains perceive information through our five senses
2. How we react to that information in our thoughts and our feelings
3. How we then use that information in communication and actions.
It is important to understand these differences are not all at 100%, and function at varying levels.
Our unfair advantages are twofold: the first is that I, Jameson Healy, am the most relatable missionary candidate. I have Autism, ADHD, and have been an inpatient psych ward and attendee of over 500 appointments with dozens of doctors.
This is important because, the reason why even top neurodivergent ministries have consistently had trouble growing is that they’re missing something critical: being led by someone who is neurodivergent. On average, channels and brands led by people who are neurodivergent get 7 times as many views and subscribers with less time and content than those run by people who are neurotypical.
The second advantage we have is the existing but untapped support in the church. We want to rally them by sharing our message at churches and asking them to simply subscribe to the YouTube channel and be the hands and feet of Jesus in a very simple and free way.
