DANI LIEROW. No one has any way of telling what lies behind Dani's big brown eyes and vacant stare. For the first seven years of her life, Danielle never saw the sun, felt the wind or tasted solid food. She was kept in a closet in a Plant City apartment, cloistered in darkness, left in a dirty diaper, fed only with a bottle. "She was a ferral child," said Carolyn Eastman of the Tampa heart Gallery. "We'd never seen a case like that." PICTURED - Feb 03, 2008 - Fort Myers, Florida, USA - While watching an educational cartoon video, Dani, 9, engages in stimming behaviors, like batting at a string of plastic beads that she swings from her toes. Experts said that due to a lack of socialization and stimulation the first, and most important, three years of her life, she developed "environmental autism," and while born normal, she now exhibits a lot of traits similar to those born with autism.
