New phylism theory and autism: pathognomonic impairment of troopbonding

A phylism is a unit of existence, part of an individual's species heritage. It is neither nature nor nurture, but a phyletically dictated product of the interaction of both at a crucial developmental period which may be either prenatal, postnatal, or both. In the syndrome of autism, the phylism of troopbonding is specifically impaired, and other phylisms may be hypertrophic. The phylism of limerent (lover-lover) pairbonding is not impaired, and it may be the source of discordance with other members of the troop. Shyness is an attenuated manifestation of autism. The etiology of impaired troopbonding may be heritable, and almost certainly will prove to be neurochemical also, probably as an analogue of the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. The lives of autistic children are subject to secondary shaping by the environment of living.
