"What's Wrong With Him?

There is a young man (21) who is the brother of someone I work with. He has cerebral palsey and epilepsy, and a very sweet temperament! He had not seen his sister in three weeks. She saw him today, and yelled at him, but he didn't see or hear her. She asked someone to turn him around, so he could see her. When he saw her, he was overjoyed, said her name, and ran to her, almost knocking over a very expensive piece of technology equipment. He gave her a wonderful hug, almost knocking her down (he is six feet four inches tall).

After he left, another employee asked me, "What's wrong with him?"

I answered, "What's wrong with us? Why can't we show love spontaneously like that? Are we worried someone will ask about one of us, "What's wrong with him?"
