A couple of quick thoughts on online church from perspective of someone who is parent to an autistic child, husband to a professional working long term around learning disability:

Many adults with learning disabilities are finding current situation very distressing but some things help: daily text conversations with short FaceTime/video chats one-to-one; familiar faces on screen; things that feel like what they are used to and not lots of novelty.

Favourite songs; prayers they already know; their communities or churches or neighbourhoods being named in prayers.

We may have adults with learning disabilities watching our live/online service so accessible language isn’t an optional extra: it should be at forefront of mind. I’ve not done very well with this so far tbh and need to do much better.

From a parent-of-autistic child perspective: all this choice and the range of services suddenly available is irrelevant. She wants something familiar, small, quiet, something like her church. She doesn’t want to watch someone else’s service. Not because their service is bad...

But because it’s not /her/ church. It’s even harder for her to “read” online communication because nonverbals are even harder to pick up on than usual. The words need to be allowed to do the work. Simple, no-nonsense, succinct seems to work for her.
