Amen to autism

 


Some spiritual groups demonize autism. Others sacralize it. This video deals with a third variant: sacralizing autism and other forms of neurodivergence without even knowing what it is! The content-creator Darante´ LaMar is a former charismatic preacher (it shows!) turned atheist. He argues that many "gifts of the Spirit" are really natural psychological abilities, typical of people who are autistic or extremely empathic. 

I previously blogged about the autism-religion interface, and here we go again. Very interesting video, although the brother preaches too much at the end!
