  Period 3
The coined term “autism” goes all the way back to
1911, however then it was not meant for what it is
today but instead referred to adult schizophrenia. It
was described for the first time in 1943 by Dr. Leo
Kanner. He observed numbers of children's’
behavior and found 11 of them to be in common.
The behavior they all had in common was that the
children had withdrawn from human contact.
Throughout the 40’s and the 60’s the medical
community felt that autistic children were
schizophrenic. In the 60’s was when doctors began
understanding autism and identifying symptoms
and treatments.
