This is a good place to try church. People here get up and move around anyway during the service, so you won’t stand out. There’s open space behind the main seating area, for large-scale stimming. Or you can take a break outside, then come back in. No one will melt.

There are a variety of fidget toys and comfort aids available in church, from things to fiddle with to wobble seats and comfort pillows. Take them to your seat and, if you need to, you can always get up and go get a different one any time.

Church is a touchy-feely place; but if you’re not into that, it’s OK. When you first come in, there are color-coded name tags you can fill out. They work like the colors of a stoplight: Green for Go, it’s OK to touch me; Yellow for Slow, let me touch you first; Red for Stop, I don’t want to be touched today.

When you’re ready to sit down, there are four papasan chairs — those big comfy egg-type chairs — spread out behind the main seating area, so you can still see, hear and participate, but also have your own cocoon of space.

There’s a Creative Table toward the back of the church where you can write, draw or color; there’s also some Rubik’s cubes and math toys there too. You can stretch and move around if you need to, and you can always take a break outside too, then come back in.

If you have a complete meltdown, there are many different peaceful benches outside where you can go to calm down; or you can just walk around our 2.5-acre campus for a while.

ONLY IF A PARENT GOES WITH YOU, you can also play on the playground (equipment for little kids only).

Sunglasses and disposable earplugs are available in church for you, or you can BYO headphones if you prefer. Music is organ, piano and choir — no electric instruments or brass — and if music bothers you, you’ll know when it’s coming from following the bulletin, and can step out.

Lighting is warm white/yellow; the only spotlights face the front wall so you can’t see them. During the summer, the natural light in the room is good enough that sometimes we don’t even use the electric lights.

It’s OK to bring and use whatever device/s you need; we get it. BYO ribbon or scarf to wave if you’re enjoying something but are non-verbal.

There are colored plastic strips available if those help you read (either keep it, after church, or wipe it down with a provided disinfecting wipe, please).

Even if you can’t read at all, you can still participate in the service by watching others, by absorbing the vibes, and by taking communion.

Little involuntary noises? Say ‘Amen’ a little louder than other people? No problem.

Continuous humming-type noises? Also no problem, so long as they’re not so loud that people can’t hear anything else.

Want to ask a question? Sure, just raise your hand; it might not be answered right that second, but we’ll get to it.

Love music and sounding out with it? Go for it; everybody here loves music too.

Screaming fit? That much noise you’ll need to take outside, till it’s back down to more workable noise levels.

Loud meltdowns — it’s perfectly fine to have them, but they’re too distracting for others; please step outside for a bit.

Violence — it happens, but we need to make sure this is a safe space for everyone. No hitting, biting, kicking or otherwise hurting people; no destroying church or anyone else’s property.

Deeply offensive, sustained cursing — garden variety cussing is fine; Episcopalians are pretty cool about that. But cursing that’s graphically sexual, violent, sacrilegious, racist or hateful isn’t OK in church, not even for Episcopalians.

That’s about it. Use your best judgment for behavior in public, and you’ll be fine.
