Subject: RE: BS: CapriUni's blog: disability in folktales
BTW, I don't know myself whether psychopathy could count as a disability as such. I mean I think it plausibly could count as a mental illness, but I don't know whether you have to be aware that you're disabled before you're seen by those around you as disabled. I think if I was a psychopath, would I be aware that I was? Probably not. But I definitely have cerebral palsy and problems with social skills that I'm aware of. And I personally think Bluebeard counts. This may seem bizarre, but if you're open to title suggestions and you want to do on a post on Bluebeard, you could call it: "Bluebeard: disability and fears about marriage" or something similar.
