Although there are no Amish doctors, the absence of those ailments is notable and suggestive, if true.
Wow…
They can’t be diagnosed with anything because they don’t go to the doctor. Little jebidiah is just “a little slow”.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Felix was kind enough to provide you with the notable assertion.
Today, the Amish population in the United States is estimated to be over 360,000 individuals spread across more than 30 states.
read the link. the words cancer, diabetes, and autism were not mentioned once.

Felix provided those words. Discuss them with him.
you expressed an opinion. so i'm questioning your opinion, if you'd like to change it, feel free.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Toiling in the shucking shed, removing the husks from the corn cobs, then discarding all that organic matter. Some farming community tasks are best suited for age group 6-10.
Many Republicans might even claim that dawn to dusk child labor is great therapy for Jebidiah. He's learning some of the more crucial self survival tools so that when he's into his 40s, childless with no family to dote upon, he can still be of benefit to his aging parent(s).
Let Jebidiah alone so he can pull up his own bootstraps like the Libertarians used to do in them olden days.
For a nation as well as a society to be healthy all citizens must permit an opportunity for each citizen to express their opinions. Unfortunately dissent today turns to violent personal attacks and all sense of toleration has jeopardized our democracy. What a pathetic state of affairs we have created.

Check out what's going on with the 'moral majority' of Christian radicalists in this country since Trump hit the scene on his escalator.

Evangelical Christian leader Russell Moore revealed this week that many evangelical pastors have become alarmed that their Trump-loving congregants have become so militant that they are even rejecting the teachings of Jesus Christ.
In an interview with NPR, Moore said that multiple pastors had told him disturbing stories about their congregants being upset when they read from the famous "Sermon on the Mount" in which Christ espoused the principles of forgiveness and mercy as central to Christian doctrine.
"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching — 'turn the other cheek' — [and] to have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'" Moore revealed. "And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ,' the response would not be, 'I apologize.' The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak.'"
Moore, who has been an outspoken critic of many evangelicals' embrace of Trump, argues that this has led him to conclude that American evangelical Christianity is now in crisis.
"When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis," he said.
"The roots of the political problem really come down to disconnection, loneliness, sense of alienation," he said. "Even in churches that are still healthy and functioning, regular churchgoing is not what it was a generation ago, in which the entire structure of the week was defined by the community."
