..And Have Not Love...You are as sounding brass...

Excerpt:
The Talmud suggests a prayer to be recited upon seeing a person who is disabled; perhaps it can be applied to people with autism as well, although they often do not appear different:  One who sees… an albino, or a giant, or a dwarf, or a person with dropsy, says 
‘Blessed is He who made his creations different from one another.’ 
One who sees a person with missing limbs, or a blind person, or one with a flattened head, or a lame person, or one who suffers from boils or a person with a whitening skin complaint says, 
‘Blessed is the true Judge.’ (Talmud Bavli Berachot 58b) 
I do not expect to be celebrated by my co-religionists or anyone else for having an autistic child, but I do wish I could make friends with some of them. ~Pentimento

Love
1If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.3And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.… 1 Cor 13:2
