I thought more people would really value this thread!! If you post your real feelings here, you won't suffer later consequences in hell. I promise.

And plus Jesus definately wasn't a NT. He used to go through various nature walks alone, pray frequently/ obsessively, and speech irregularities. I guess a lot of people don't want to challenge unconventional, religious-rhetoric.

i think it's that either people don't believe in christian religion and therefore jesus isn't that important, or if they do they believe that jesus was the son of god and couldn't possibly have been autistic, or at least if he was it was just the irrelevant envelope. And because it's too far away to be sure. And because it doesn't exactly change anything. Too much a case of "What difference does it make?", I suppose.
But I know that it made a difference to me to think of jesus as scientology-style narcissistic megalomaniac!!
I was able to feel very angry with what i was seeing as the appalling invention of the thought-police approach; A his D even THINKING about killing, thinking about having ( extra-marital) sex etc was as bad as doing it. So now we examine our thoughts to root out the "negative" ones etc; ( i was just emerging from the considerable hold on me that a personal development programme had had for 7/8 years.) I wondered whether christianity might actually have been at the true origin of this awful "mental purity/cleansing" approach. ( ......on the other hand without that emphasis we might not have the concepts of the unconscious and the archetypes, and the journey in the collective unconscious ( theories by Jung).... hmmm... )
It was liberating personally.

What difference does it make to you to think of him as AS ?

It's not the first "Jesus had Asperger's" thread. I know I've posted in at least one previously. I've also seen the subject at other sites.

I think think he was one of us, yes. I think schizophrenics also claim him as their own. I guess it's in the "famous people with Asperger's" category. I do wonder if we are the chosen people, but then, a lot of people think that about their social caste.

Curiously, as it has been said that about Jesus from some believers, that falls into asperger's, autism or ADHD, so maybe he might have had some of those, not necessarily asperger's or autism though, but something else, I guess. Maybe he was savant, could explain the miracles

Maybe aspies may have a better connection with him than NTs

Jesus was Jesus, I wouldn't even try to put any kind of factors on him from our time just because - he's a guy who lived over 2000 years ago and we hardly know who he really was or what he was really about. Its like trying to say Sargon or Alexander the Great were aspies.

True, but people with ASD's tend to be competely people of their own; charismatic, non-paritsan, level-headed, great leaders! They tend to break the stagnant waters of thought.

What's really the point? Have you looked at the sources? They even sound ridiculous. The entire thing has the air of a spoof or mockery.

Maybe so but you have more than enough NT's with that same spark as well.

well, saying things like Jesus being an aspie are just speculations, it doesn't seem that any evidence to support this actually exists, and probably it will never be.
