of Developmental Psychopathology, [1]Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, is
indicating that there is good chance that there is a scientific basis to
the observed phenomenon that [2]children with highly analytical parents
are more likely to be autistic. He believes the genes which make someone
analytical may also impair their social and communication skills. A
weakness in these areas is the key characteristic of autism."
