Autism: Peer‐Reviewed Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder that involves social, language, sensory, and motor deficits, behavioral abnormalities, and may also be associated with mental retardation. Kanner coined the term “autism” in 1943 to characterize a group of children in whom he identified a complex set of characteristics that clustered together, including abnormalities in social development, verbal and non-verbal communication, and symbolic thinking. In 1944 Asperger described a similar set of characteristics, except that his patients did not have language delays as described by Kanner.
