The silent twins
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
This name has been given by the media to two young women born in the early 1960s who, from the age of 2 or 3, had spoken almost exclusively to each other and to no-one else. This resulted in considerable communication problems at school and a turbulent adolescence; eventually they set fire to some empty buildings and were sent to Broadmoor.
