Father Schill,
Thanks for sending out your promotional packet with the dreamcatcher and other items. I will be forwarding a donation. I looked you up online and found that you are a fellow Texan and have Asperger’s. This is of interest to me because my son also has this diagnosis, and I know how challenging this condition can be. My son Will has an IQ tested at 160, but I could not get him to finish college. For him it was too restrictive and too liberal. He has pointed out to me the strong Marxist influence in schools of higher learning.
He likes helping people, and got an EMT license here in California. The plan was to become a Paramedic, but then the pandemic hit, and he refused to take the vaccines which are required of all medical people here in Ca. Will was married in June 2022 at age 27, and immediately moved to Madison Wisconsin where his wife’s family lives and where vaccination is not mandated.
He is working as a Security Guard for less than $20 an hour, scraping by. When he lived here in San Pedro, he had formed his own non-profit corporation which donated security services to local Catholic churches. Although my wife and I are Protestant, and started an annual Christian music festival here in 2005 (Light at the Lighthouse Festival), Will became Catholic about 5 years ago because to him it is a more spiritual church, and he loves Latin masses.
He is VERY smart, highly principled, but I worry that he will not have an opportunity to actualize the gifts God has given him, nor make a decent living to support a family.
I enjoyed your life story, of successful adaptation to Asperger’s Syndrome, and thought perhaps you can be an encouragement or a mentor to him. His email is William.K.Fleury@biola.edu
Thank you for serving the Native American population. I spent a summer in Med School on the Hualapai Reservation in Arizona, as part of the American Indian Health Service, and am familiar with some of the problem areas you deal with.

Hi my name is Derek Twinney. I was conducting research at Asbury Seminary, and came across an article about your walk with God. I have Asperger’s/ Autism 1 and am trying to do research on the following subject: How does one that has Asperger’s continue to grow with God and love him deeper, in the midst of the emotional/ relational challenges. There’s not a lot of research on this topic from the point of someone with Asperger’s/ Autism 1, and so I’m trying to gather knowledge while implementing it into my own life and walk with Christ. Thanks! Email would be preferred response as I am more likely to look there.
Derek,
