Blessed are the Aspies

Anne Atkins is rejoicing in my innocence.

How strange. But she is a strange, strange adult.

Jesus was reported saying a few things about how his people would be looked down on or hated, would never fit in, and that family trouble was likely. And, as Atkins said, that childlikeness of spirit was a Good Thing. Jesus himself (as portrayed) was disruptive and unlikeable, a black-and-white thinker.
