Nurture 1-Nature 0, or Bruno Bettelheim Lives

Well, actually this is WRT antisocial behavior, not autism per se:

"If the mother is unresponsive to the infant or her
behaviour is repeatedly frightening to the infant, then there is a risk that
the brain networks that help the child to deal with stress become unbalanced
and that has been shown to lead to both mental health and other types of
health problems in later life" - Dr Bjarne Holmes, the psychologist who is
leading the research
Story in full A TEN-minute test which identifies babies at risk of
developing antisocial behaviour has been created by Scottish scientists.
The psychological test, designed for women with children under six
months of age, will enable health workers to pick out mothers who are
failing to bond properly with their child.
