[quote=Anonymous]This is an intellectual question.... One of my children seems to be almost completely lacking in any sense of disgust. Any kind of weird insects, animals, creepy crawlies, rodents, are a wonder to this child. Also roadkill, dead animals, blood, maggots, are all interesting curiosities and draw my child in like a moth to a flame. It's also tied to an intense love of all natural things -plants, animals, rocks, fungi, but a general distaste for humans. This child also seems to be lacking in basic fear - of the dark, of bears/wolves/coyotes, of being left alone, but interestingly has a fear of cute things, like babies and toddlers, and dolls. Has been this way since being verbal. It just makes me wonder...What does this mean? How does it correlate with other things? Like intelligence, morality, personality, sociability? My child is a highly intelligent, gifted, out of the box thinker who struggles a bit with unfamiliar humans.[/quote]
