> the torso of an 11 yr old impaired skeletal development might have been due to his eating habits (i believe he mentions being a picky eater in childhood, but i am not sure) and/or his dyspraxia (both are symptoms of asd). > was short this one is to a great extent genetic, but the aforementioned environmental factors are also involved. also, 5'9 isn't short - it's quite tall for a half-asian male, and the average height in the us. it might have been insufficient in his particular circumstances though. still, far from a genetic failure (unless all asians are genetic failures). > narcissistic this one has been shown to be heritable, but it might be due to parental mistreatment affecting their children's psychological development. his father seems quite narcissistic, and it didn't seem to hinder his career. the particular kind of narcissism (vulnerable vs. grandiose) seems more significant in this case and is not unrelated to him being bullied since at least middle school. > autistic also not primarily genetic. there is a genetic propensity towards autism, but it's a disease that requires an environmental trigger. > shit genes none of the traits you named are strictly genetic. and even if that were the case, it doesn't seem to me that elliot is particularily genetically disadvantaged. as an aspiring nazi, his genes seem above-average quality to me.
