Carol, it is a phenomenon commonly associated to autism. Actually, one of the hytothesis that tries to account for autism on a neurological level is that these children are lacking a cognitive function that allows us to sort and integrate the hundreds of sensory informations that flow to our brain, as if there were no one to control the traffic... So one way the brain finds to defend itself against this agression is to shut up from the outside world... Philippe Gervaix Switzerland
