Environmental Autism

This is the other side of the bell curve. But I also think it speaks to the needs of GT kids and how critical those first years are.

My SIL just adopted two neglected kids < 3 years of age. Neither could speak. They are making progress. When we were visiting them, jr would cry when they did. He could not walk and crawl, but was SO much more observant than they - so he studied them, and they studied him. LOL.
