On Friday night I went to see the man who came to dinner. I went as an usher to see for free. I can’t really say that helped me read anything better. I had a hard time understanding what the whole play was about. I think everyone was scratching their heads at the end of the first act wondering what the plot actually was. There were some funny parts in it like the running joke about the penguins. Overall, I thought everyone did an awesome performance. Our school is blessed to have such talented actors. But I am glad that I helped out as an usher.

           

When I look back at dr. Fettke’s essay, I can see that he is an inspiration to a lot of people. I think my favorite quote in the essay is

“for him to be “healed” would mean that who he is right now is of

little value. Also, for him to be “healed” would also mean that he

would not be who we have come to know him to be in his 23 years

of existence. Thus, he would not be the one whom God created as a

person who happens to be autistic”

I have great respect for dr. fettke and his wife as parents because they show that they have become content in who their son is.  We often look being disabled as some kind of curse or even to go as far as some kind of demon possession. But the way I see it is that these people in AFI are actually blessed beyond what most people can see. A lot them do not have the worries of this world or have concerns are the daily thing that “normal” people stress about. That is a huge blessing to have, to not know what is  better.
