Was Jesus wrong to make the lame walk and the blind see?
The ex-leper sketch from ‘Life of Brian’ covers that pretty well 😉…
The ex-leper forgets that now that he is cures, he doesn’t have to beg for money. He can get a job and earn it.
Some people might not want to be “cured” because it’s part of who they are. It might not define them but it’s an important part.
Maybe, but shouldn’t the cure be there for those that want it?
I was watching that Oscar nominated Documentary ‘A Life Animated’ the other week about this guy Owen Suskind (he has Autism) and how he uses Disney films to help him relate to the world. At the end he delivers a speech on Autism to a lecture theater and writes an animated short to express himself. I know I wouldn’t have the nerve to do the first, or the creativity to do the second.
So are you saying he wouldn’t have the nerve or creativity without autism?
Many autistic people treat autism like a superpower, which they can tap to accomplish lots of useful things. It just happens that the world is also littered with Kryptonite.
I guess I am not able to understand how a mental difficult can be considered a superpower. But I do have to say that you did not answer my question. Are you saying that he wouldn’t have his nerve and creativity without the autism?
