#Psychology: The girl in the window... story of a feral child found in Plant City, FL

Psychologist called the girl's condition "environmental autism." The girl had been deprived of interaction for so long, the doctor believed, that she had withdrawn into herself. The most extraordinary thing about the girl according to osychologist was her lack of engagement with people, with anything. "There was no light in her eye, no response or recognition. . . . They saw a little girl who didn't even respond to hugs or affection. Even a child with the most severe autism responds to those.

The authorities had discovered the rarest and most pitiable of creatures: a feral child.
