Mike Wise

Mike Wise, also sometimes known as The Misfit Christian, was diagnosed in the early 80s as "having Autistic Tendencies." He is mostly interested in writing about the intersections between autism, mental health, and spirituality, and being an advocate for other folks on the spectrum to live their best lives. He is married to Corrie, and they have 2 dogs which drive them crazy. He also might be a sentient android-- the test results haven't come back yet, so we're not sure. Buy Mike a coffee.
