JD Asked:
What's a good synonym for autism or dereism? I'm looking for the word
that means that one believes that something doesn't exist after one
shuts one's eyes (a belief of many very young children) or that only
one's own perceived reality exists. (Most dictionaries don't have
"dereism," so it won't do.) thanks ahead of time.
