I'd also like to point out...
Posted by HuBBsDoctor on .
I was born and diagnosed with Asperger Syndrom. Its a form of autism. It makes it very hard to socialize with people. I do things that are odd. I say things that don't make sense to people, I stumble over my words, I get nervous and have jitters, I say random things out loud and since elementary school I have been the butt end of jokes, pranks and many other such things. Of course it wasn't till near my end of High school I was able to take control of my actions to some degree. I still have some of those nervous twitches, once in awhile I still don't make sense and I still stumble over my words here and there. Your son may or may not have it harder than me. I've met a couple of guys who were more socially accepted with their advanced forms of autism than I was.
"What me worry?"
IMO I never said that people who were mental or physically challenged were not perfect.
I probably didn't explain fully either. You see in out religion we are given bodies as a test to rpove our faith to god. But in this test we must pass through a Vail that takes all our knowldge of the pre mortal existance. But sometimes thats not the only thing taken from us. Sometimes we lose something in translation. A birth defect, mental disabilities, what have you. As we die we are then restored to our perfect form in heaven. Every hear on your head shall be restored. God has perfect body and therefore if we die should we not have a perfect body as well when we rejoin him? This is what I was taught and what I believe. Its not a strike against or demeaning against anyone who is mentally or physically handicapped at all.
