What did you think of it dymphna?

It seems to me to be well balanced and rational. The only bit I didn't like was the suggestion that someone with a few muscle spasms might not be able to join in public choral liturgy because of how this might appear to others.......
However, I also know of communities who accept people with physical disabilities so I think it is more than possible that maybe the young man in question has not applied to these.

It really doesn't sound like that guy has bipolar simply. It sounds like Asperger's Syndrome. Bipolar people don't get random tics under stress. Aspies get depression and tics under stress. Someone ought to tell that guy...

What communities accept people with disabilities, maximillion?
