Abstract

“Blindisms” refers to repetitive or bizarre behaviors occurring in the blind population. Often seen as inevitable, their etiology and psychological significance has received little attention. A longitudinal study of infants blind from birth offers examples of adaptive, transitory, and pathologically fixated “blindisms” with etiology comparable to related behaviors in sighted children.
