  The Albigensian Crusade - Heresy...

  The Cathars emerged as one of the most distinctive and controversial religious movements of medieval Europe, particularly in the Languedoc region of modern-day southern France. Rooted in dualist beliefs, the Cathars rejected many of the core teachings of the Catholic Church, viewing the material world as the creation of an evil force and striving for spiritual purity. Their growing influence in the 12th and 13th centuries alarmed both the Church and secular rulers, eventually leading to their violent suppression during the Albigensian Crusade. 
  The origins of Catharism can be traced to earlier dualist traditions, particularly those of the Bogomils in the Balkans. These beliefs likely spread into western Europe through trade routes and missionary activity, finding fertile ground in the tolerant and prosperous culture of Languedoc. Cathar teachings were based on a stark division between the material and spiritual realms. They believed that the physical world was ruled by a malevolent force, often associated with Satan, while the true God presided over the spiritual world. This view led them to reject the Catholic Church, which they saw as corrupt and complicit in the worship of the material. Unlike the Church, which emphasized hierarchical structure, the Cathars maintained a simpler, more egalitarian approach to religious life. 
  Cathar society was structured around two primary groups: the Perfects and the Believers. The Perfects, considered the spiritual elite, led austere lives dedicated to prayer, fasting, and celibacy. They followed strict moral codes, renouncing wealth and worldly pleasures in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. Believers, while not held to the same rigorous standards, supported the Perfects and aspired to receive the consolamentum, a ritual that purified the soul before death. Cathars rejected many Catholic sacraments, including baptism by water, believing instead in a form of spiritual baptism.

   Around one in one hundred people in the UK are autistic, yet there remains a fundamental misunderstanding of what autism is. It is rare that autistic people get to share their own experiences, show how creative and talented and passionate they are, and how different they are from media stereotypes. 
   This insightful and eye-opening collection of essays, fiction and visual art showcases the immense talents of some of the UK's most exciting writers and artists  − who just happen to be on the spectrum. Here they reclaim the power to speak for themselves and redefine what it means to be autistic.
   Stim invites the reader into the lives, experiences and minds of the eighteen contributors, and asks them to recognise the hurdles of being autistic in a non-autistic world and to uncover the empathy and understanding necessary to continue to champion brilliant yet unheard voices.
