Re: Down syndrome is a lifestyle choice!
The so-called "autistic" demon is just that. A demon. When Jesus met similarly possessed individuals He never said "Oh don't worry, your child is not demon possessed like these superstitious social inadequates are telling you" quite the reverse. Jesus always affirmed the diagnosiis and often elaborated citing differences between devils as evidence for mild and severe cases of demonic possession. Here are some examples:
Jesus did not say "this child has aphasia deriving from an autistic spectum disorder" did He? He could have said that or made some similar statement in terms His audience would understand. But He didn't. Jesus could have said nothing and just healed the child. He didn't do that either. Jesus made the world, all of the stars, every person, every animal, every plant - even every plant or animal so small you'd need a magnifying glass to see them. Jesus therefore, obviously, knows everything about us all including whether or not we are possessed by a devil. This child was possessed and Jesus not only said so but engaged in dialogue with the devil, casting it out, delivering the child from the certainty of HELL FOREVER and even going on to explain to His disciples why this particular type of devil was so difficult to remove.
Once again Jesus reiterated the fact of demonic possession, despite a very clear description of "symptoms" leading the modern physician to announce that this demoniac was "in" some sort of "schizophrenic psychosis" thereby enabling us to identify the "profession" of psychiatry as satanic, and once again I'll remind you that Jesus made everything, the heavens and the earth, the sky and everything attached to it, He made that Gadarene demoniac and knew exactly what was going on. The devil also recognised Jesus and spoke to Him. How could this have happened if there was no devil?

MARK 9
17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
20 - 21 And they brought him unto Him: and when he saw Him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. And He asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
25 - 27 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
28 - 29 And when He was come into the house, His disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? And He said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

MARK 5
2 b - 3 a ..there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, Who had his dwelling among the tombs;
5 - 8 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. For He said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
