AUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDERS

AUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDERS
In 1943, Leo Kanner first described the triad of features that he named autism:
extreme social isolation, severe language abnormalities, and unusual responses
to the environment. He believed that it represented some kind of inbuilt deficit.
Today autism is defined as a biologically determined disorder (Gillberg &
Coleman, 1992), a clinical expression of an underlying abnormality of brain
function that produces disordered development.
