    Did you read the Wikipedia article? I grant that isolation is inherently traumatic, but by itself, it pales in comparison to what that person went through.

      I grant that isolation is inherently traumatic

      That was my point, I don’t see how a traumatic experience during a child’s formative years could have no effect on their ability to learn or socialize later in life. I’m not making a “nature” argument, I’m making a “lack of nurture during the most important years” argument.
