Are you a heretic?

Well that's relief! I was going to save this for my regular Frivolous Friday post but it was so interesting that I went ahead and posted it today. It is rather telling that most of the questions on this quiz (relating to some doctrinal conflicts in the first few centuries of church history) dealt with the nature of Jesus Christ. What you think about him really does colour the rest of the way you think about Christianity. I found myself going way back to things I learned as a child before I could read and write to decide how I would answer some of the quiz questions. Bits of hymns, catechisms, creeds, doctrinal statements, and scripture all floated to the surface of my mind. I was surprised and pleased to find that so much of that stuff has stayed with me over the years.

So are you a heretic or what?

That morning after I got tired of hauling him back from the edge of the bed he was intent on crawling over I took him downstairs to safer level terrain. I turned on the television to check the news like I did every morning back then. At first I was horrified by what I saw. One smoldering tower.

At that point I understood what was happening. Why did people think, and still think, that kind of wretchedness served their cause? I didn't care what the cause was. These were arrogant fools. But the news kept coming about just how wretched humanity had been to itself that day. The ...

Treating autism as traumatic brain injury

By
I've been doing research into autism, dyspraxia, how the normal brain works, and how an autistic/dyspraxic brain works (or doesn't work). Traumatic injury to different parts of the brain can cause the same problems suffered by autistic and dyspraxic children. Compare this list of the functions of different parts of the brain and the problems caused by injuries to those areas with these descriptions of dyspraxia and autism. What is Developmental Dyspraxia? Developmental dyspraxia is a disorder characterized by an impairment in the ability to plan and carry out sensory and motor tasks. Generally, individuals with the disorder appear "out of sync" with their environment. Symptoms vary and may include poor balance and coordination, clumsiness, vision problems, perception difficulties, emotional and behavioral problems, difficulty with reading, writing, and speaking, poor social skills, poor posture, and poor short-term memory. Although individuals with the disorder may b...
