But if Intelligent Design were true, well, there are plenty of reasons God would want autistics and DS people. Maybe He wants us for our special attributes - the cognitive strengths many autistics have, and the social skills many DS people have. Maybe He's experimenting. Maybe He wants some variety. Maybe He'd be baffled as to why anyone would think autistics and DS people weren't supposed to be and NTs were!Ettinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230821659466586897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-74963419783176141842008-07-31T22:50:00.000-04:002008-07-31T22:50:00.000-04:00Dear Dave - refering to the issue of evolution and...Dear Dave - refering to the issue of evolution and people with disabilities being used as proof against intelligent design - 2 points:<BR/><BR/> - antidisability sentiment (as you call them in First Contact) also called ableism or normalism raises its ugly head. The archaelogical record contains instances of pre homo sapiens hominids providing care for people with disabilities proving that valuing people with disabilities has been around for a long time - maybe longer than antidisability sentiments?<BR/><BR/>- I think that the view that the existence of people with intellectual disabilities disproves intelligent design implies an incredible arrogance - who is so perfect that they can assume that others are mistakes???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-50307594266575494602008-07-31T15:09:00.000-04:002008-07-31T15:09:00.000-04:00I guess computers can have "brain farts" too...LOL...I guess computers can have "brain farts" too...LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-12989944122640863602008-07-31T11:08:00.000-04:002008-07-31T11:08:00.000-04:00I KNEW when I saw your post on Saturday, that the ...I KNEW when I saw your post on Saturday, that the title would bring you a lot of "interested" readers...!<BR/> I must admit that I was a bit puzzled this morning about your post....You've got to watch what you post at 1AM.
