Eh... I don't care for it, but I'm not overly torn up about it either.

It not changing anything biblical, it's simply adding a layer of interest to a character, if that makes sense.

i get what youre saying... but its really annoying...

He could be just a numbers nerd and act the same way yet leave out all the autistic actions like shaking his hand.

IMO its taking focus away from the story and focusing on his mannerisms.

Matthew being autistic is just one thing they are adding to this series to make Jesus and the Bible, “relatable.” I’ve watched a few scenes and in each case they have altered the text which in some cases changes its intent.

It’s difficult to watch this and not “read into” the text something that isn’t there. I’d caution even discerning Christians in watching this for that reason alone.

I like the symbolism of it. Jesus taking someone that would be considered flawed in modern standards and placing on equal footing as everyone else.

Similar how they shows the human side of Jesus when he sucked at whatever athletic game they played early on.

Simple ordinary folks.

I've actually not noticed it all that much... I just sort of viewed him as OCD... not a very high functioning autistic person.
