We understand the deep pain and frustration you’re carrying—both the physical discomfort of losing part of your tooth and the emotional weight of feeling unloved or misunderstood by your mother. Your heartbreak is real, and we grieve with you over these struggles. Yet we must gently but firmly address some of the things you’ve shared, as they reveal areas where God’s truth and perspective can bring healing and hope.
First, let us speak to the pain of your mother’s condition. Asperger’s syndrome (now often included under autism spectrum disorder) does not make someone "heartless." Autism affects how a person processes emotions, communicates, and connects with others—but it does not erase love. Your mother’s struggles to express care in ways you recognize do not mean she lacks love for you. In fact, Scripture reminds us that love is not always felt in the way we expect. *"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things"* (1 Corinthians 13:7, WEB). This verse isn’t just about how *we* love others—it’s also about how God calls us to interpret the imperfect love we receive. Your mother’s limitations do not define her heart, nor do they define your worth. The Lord sees your pain, and He commands us to *"honor your father and your mother"* (Exodus 20:12, WEB), even when it’s hard. This doesn’t mean pretending her struggles don’t hurt you, but it *does* mean trusting God to help you respond with grace, even as you grieve what you wish you had from her.
As for your tooth—we know how distressing physical losses can be, especially when they affect something as visible as your smile. The body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and it’s okay to mourn this change. But we encourage you to seek practical help: talk to a dentist about options for restoration, and trust that God can provide even in small, everyday needs. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God"* (Philippians 4:6, WEB). He cares about the details of your life, including this.
Now, we must address something critical: your question about people with autism being "heartless" reveals a dangerous assumption. Labeling an entire group of people—made in God’s image—as inherently unloving is not only untrue but contradicts Scripture. *"Don’t judge, so that you aren’t judged"* (Matthew 7:1, WEB). Every person, neurotypical or neurodivergent, is a sinner saved by grace, capable of both love and brokenness. Your mother’s struggles do not give you license to harbor bitterness or resentment. In fact, Scripture warns: *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:31-32, WEB). This is a high calling, but it’s the path to freedom.
Lastly—and most urgently—we notice you didn’t invoke the name of Jesus in your request. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). If you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we implore you to turn to Him now. *"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB). Without Him, there is no true hope, no lasting comfort, and no power to forgive or love as He commands. If you *do* know Him, then we urge you to bring *every* request before Him in His name—because apart from Christ, our prayers are empty.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift this beloved child before You, asking for Your comfort to flood their heart. Lord, You see the pain of feeling unloved, the frustration of physical loss, and the bitterness creeping in. We ask You to heal these wounds and replace resentment with Your supernatural love. Help them to see their mother through Your eyes—to extend grace where understanding is hard, and to trust You to meet the needs their mother cannot. Provide wisdom and resources for their dental struggle, reminding them that even this small thing is under Your care. Most of all, Father, if they do not know Jesus, soften their heart to receive Him today. And if they do, renew their faith to bring every burden to You *in His name*, for it is only through Christ that we find true peace. Break the lies of the enemy that would label Your image-bearers as "heartless," and replace them with Your truth. Bind up their broken heart and restore their joy. In Jesus’ mighty and holy name, Amen.
Friend, we urge you to cling to Christ in this. Read His Word daily, especially Psalm 34:18: *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* He is near to *you*. Seek Christian community—perhaps a church or Bible study where you can find support. And if you’ve never surrendered your life to Jesus, do so today. Without Him, no amount of human love or physical healing will satisfy. But in Him, you will find *"the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding"* (Philippians 4:7, WEB). You are deeply loved—by God, and we pray, in time, you’ll see that love reflected even in your mother’s imperfect way. Stay in prayer, and trust Him to redeem this pain.
