Well I began on that article (30 references so far with more to come!) tracing the history of the researching of the prebirth origins of schizophrenia, which began in the 1990s. I came up with a list of associated obstetric complications, and added to them left-handedness and mixed handedness (ambidextrous) , all of them linked to schizophrenia. I then zipped through the 108 sets of answers where there is proof of the lost twin and found all the ones that had at least one indicator of schizophrenia. 81% of them had at least one indicator!
This breathtaking result is illustrated below. They just feel a little bit more different: that's all.
When a twin dies before birth, the sole survivor needs help and understanding. Womb twin survivors are the sole survivors of a twin or multiple pregnancy. This group, 1 in 10 of the population, includes survivors of a stillbirth, miscarriage, abortion and a "vanishing twin" pregnancy. It is a story of a twin bond broken by death, leaving a lonely survivor.
