Again, I don't want to discard what may be a biological issue so looking beyond that. I think a big underlying factor may be our need to conform others to our ideals leaving them with the sense that something is wrong with them. I don't doubt there are other factors, like our own insecurities and such. And not a blame game as we are all first and foremost responsible to God, even as we understand how our actions and such can effect others. For me though, I feel that is a big factor. I got me a good deal insecurities too but hey, I have grown comfortable (not complacent, there is a difference) in my humanity and can laugh at myself. I know even in my weaknesses, God is still the perfect and strong one in me. It's good to laugh at oneself. That be it. Thanks for sharing. Love in Him, Jo One more thing that I feel is revelant.

She hasn't had it easy with one child diagnosed with autism. As can be when one child has special needs and thus gets more attention due to those needs, the others can feel neglected and rebel. As I said, this is not uncommon in cases where one child has special needs. Sis has told her other, older daughter that don't she think that she has forgotten about her and just as she has fought long and hard for her child with special needs she is doing the same for her. She has been as she has looked into all sorts of resources to help her. We've also been keeping it in prayer and God is at work amongst them and is restoring the family. Her older daughter also seems to be more understanding now as she has seen her parents struggling through puberty with her sister (their special needs child), yet even that is better. Sis has been telling me her older daughter has changed and is much more understanding, leaving her rebellion behind, and has better friends too that are into the Lord. Before she started speaking of this change in her older daughter I felt God showed me she (the older daughter) had a wound that healed nicely and since then I have been hearing wonderful reports. Anyway, just found it interesting what you said because as I said, sis just recently told me of similar things with teens and their brains still developing regarding judgement and such. Not too, too long ago I attended a weekly group / class for those that knew others diagnosed with a mental illness. I have to say that it was getting a little too much for me in the sense that everything that wasn't perfect was labelled as a mental disorder. Well, when the guy said people that smoke have a mental disorder that is when I was like, 'Ok, now this is just getting too much.' Eventually I dropped out as they wanted us to bring pictures of the people and I couldn't do it as I felt I would have had to have permission to do that and they didn't know I was even taking these classes. Even though it contained good information, like everything else, felt it was leaning too far to one side and thus wasn't for me. As you said, when you think about it, humanity in their imperfect state can all be labelled as having a mental disorder. Yet as you also said, frail and fragile in our humanity appears to be quite fitting in many cases, without discarding what may be a biological issue with others. Anyway, just thought it was interesting that you brought this up now, considering sis was just informing me of these things too. Good info.
