Dr. Leo Kanner (1894-1981), who was born in Klekotow, Austria, is one of the first persons to study autism. He was a psychiatrist and physician who published a paper in 1943, "Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact", describing his work with children who would now be labeled as having autism.
Dr. Hans Asperger (1906-1980), another pediatrician born in Austria, also studied autism, but he studied children who, from his descriptions of them, had high-functioning autism or Asperger's Syndrome. His first paper on this was published in 1944.
Both Kanner and Asperger were studying children with autism at the same time, and their work has contributed to our current understanding of autism.
Austrian Hans Asperger began using Bleuler's term "autistic psychopaths" when studying an autism spectrum disorder that was eventually named after him, Asperger's Disorder. This disorder was not classified as a different diagnosis from autism until 1994 (American Psychiatric Association, 1994). Around the same time of Asperger's studies in Austria, American Leo Kanner (1943) began studying what he called "early infantile autism." He was also the first person to use the English word "autism" in 1943 when he identified 11 children with very similar behaviors. Many of the characteristics that Kanner used to describe early infantile autism are still used today when describing autism, such as social impairments and insistence on sameness.
I do, Albert Einstien, and millions of others. if you have autism, especially aspergers syndrome like i have, i love you all and we'll just have to help each other. we are normal- dont let anyone tell you we are not.
There is no way to determine the first person who had Asperger's Syndrome. Asperger's Syndrome was not an official diagnosis until the late 20th century, but people had Asperger's Syndrome before that. Sometimes, adults who had not been diagnosed as children because the condition had not yet become an official diagnosis were diagnosed after their children were found to have it. Famous people of the past are suspected of having the condition because of traits they are known to have had.
Term wise it is suspected that Hans Asperger (guy who researched a group of boys with similar signs/symptoms) may have had aspergers.
Aspergers was first called autistic psychopathy and was developed between 1930's and 1940's by Hans Asperger.
No one 'invented' autism, autism has always existed as a variation in humans. Autism was first identified by Hugh Blair in 1747, but Leo Kanner is connected with first introducing the label of Autism in 1943, and Hans Asperger first introduced Autism in it's modern sense in 1938.
It was first diagnosed in 1747 with the case of Hugh Blair Borogue.
