Counseling Students with Asperger s Syndrome
History and Statistics. First described and named by Leo Kanner in 1944, the mysterious disability of autism is characterized by a peculiar emotional intellectual detachment from other people and the common human world. Although symptoms vary in nature and severity, language and the capacity for a normal social life are always seriously affected. Two to four out of 10,000 children are autistic, 75% of them are boys.
