Popis:	The relationship between creativity and disability is complex and elusive. The ability for people with an autistic syndrome condition to bypass non-verbal clues and avoid the physical burden of sharing emotions via the virtual world of the Internet has brought about genuine empowerment and a deeper understanding of self-worth. However, both autistic people and those described and labeled as neurotypical (NT) need to overcome the temptation to devalue the body in the employment and exercise of virtual communication. In this context theology needs to articulate with greater vigor and conviction that people living with autism are not alone in their need to rediscover the essential goodness of the body.
