Just writing to mention that I found a bunch of changeling folktales:
British changeling stories
German changeling stories
Scandinavian changeling stories
It's often theorized now that those stories referred to developmentally disabled people, especially autistic people. Chilling, when you think of how they were generally treated in those tales and how they were viewed.
