Samson's autism, and other biblical illnesses

In a new paper, two Indian neurologists have diagnosed various biblical characters with illnesses. Samson, it turns out, was autistic.
Throughout Samson's life, it is seen that he performed extraordinary physical feats... It is possible that Samson was able to perform these feats as he may have been insensitive to pain, which is occasionally seen among autistics [ref]. A study of hospitalized individuals carried out in Sweden had reached the conclusion that individuals with autism or autism spectrum disorders are prone to acts of violence.
