Irish language and special needs.

    Recently I mentioned to a friend that in Irish, or possibly in Brehon times so not modern Irish even, the word or phrase for a person with special needs was 'chosen by God'. I can't remember where I heard this exactly (I think it was a student of Irish in UCD a few years back) but I'm 99% certain I didn't make it up. Can anyone tell me am I close to the mark? And if so I'd really appreciate a reference to be able to look it up myself too.

    P.S. My friend had a brother with Cerebral Palsy which is how we got talking about it and why I'm so interested to confirm my comment.

    Cheers all :)
