Types Of Autism In Children
There have been several types of autism noted along the spectrum.
Each differs by
severity.
Some types are classic autism, autistic disorder or Kanner s syndrome, Rett s
Syndrome, and Asperger s Disorder.
Kanner s syndrome was named for psychiatrist Leo Kanner who is credited with discovering
this syndrome based off of research done on 11 child patients between 1932 and 1943.
This is
the most severe form of autism.
All the children studied demonstrated the same
characteristics.
There was a lack of emotional contact with others, a desire for sameness and
routine, abnormality in speech or muteness, fascination with manipulating objects, and
learning difficulties despite an intelligent appearance.
Certain sounds or colors can upset
people with classic autism.
Hans Asperger of Vienna
