Leo Kanner, a child psychologist, utilized a series of symptomatic conditions to describe the characteristics of autism, most of which are still presently used.' Historically, the known cases involving these same characteristics came to light, although the diagnoses were generally for other diseases. The first documented case is that of Itard (1801) in his description of Victor, the wild boy of Aveyron, who was found wandering the forests of Aveyron, France. Itard assumed that the young boy was uneducated and untouched by societal influences, however, most of his behavioral characteristics are recognizable today as those of an autistic individual. Unfortunately, it was not until later that the full impact of these traits was recognized. This was done by Leo Karmer in the mid-twentieth century. Kanner began a full investigation into the phenomenon causing these distinctive characteristics, coining the name "early infantile autism."Item Educational and recreational facility for the mentally handicapped(Texas Tech University, 1994-05) Ware, Carl W.Behavior of educable mentally retarded children can be modified by their environment.
