He uses psychiatric case material to show how many of the symptoms of psychosis can be shown to be the mental mirror-images of those of autism. This new theory casts intriguing new light on topics such as the nature of genius. 606 $aAutism$xGenetic aspects 606 $aPsychoses$xGenetic aspects 606 $aGenomic imprinting 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAutism$xGenetic aspects. 615 0$aPsychoses$xGenetic aspects. 615 0$aGenomic imprinting. 676 $a616.89/042 676 $a616.89042 700 $aBadcock$b C.
