This week on RfRx, Anthony Dominello joins us to discuss how autism affects deconstruction and deconversion from religion. Anthony will discuss what autism is, describe the diversity of autistic people both in their personal identities and presentations and share his experiences of deconstruction and deconversion as it relates to people with autism. Please join us for this educational presentation and bring your questions for Anthony!
Anthony is an ambassador and support group leader for Recovering from Religion who was diagnosed autistic at age 51. He is an IT professional by day, is a veteran of the US Air Force, and has had various other side jobs such as opera singer, film score composer, and singer/songwriter. He was born in Philadelphia and has lived most of his life in nearby Camden County, New Jersey where he currently lives with his wife.
