First, we can only discuss what the paper of Asperger actually contains, not what we would like it to. Later, Bleuler said in Dementia Praecox (1911) that “autistic schizophrenics” are “the most severe schizophrenics, who live in a world of their own.” Here the formal entrance of autism as a characteristic of schizophrenia is of uppermost concern, for it provides the proper context within which to discuss the work of Dr.
The Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler (1857–1939) was the first to use this term in a 1908 speech. Asperger had become acquainted with the term “autism” which appeared in German language writings before eventually moving into English and other languages. The roots of autism are partially embedded in the highly imaginative speculation of modern psychology. “Autism” is not some isolated deviation from acceptable behavior that was found floating out there in the ether. Hans Asperger say about autism? The answer is: it is not schizophrenia. She supports very strongly scientific research, both for curing autism and helping individuals with Asperger to find acceptance and integration. At the root of a spectrum that keeps getting bigger and bigger, she concluded, is the tendency in American society to categorize an increasing array for normal childhood reactions to stressful life situations as proof positive of a neurological disorder. Claudia is an advocate of the notion that it is worth knowing the differences between the symptoms of possible autism and problem behaviors that look like autism but they are not. She was born in Santiago del Estero, Argentina, and was diagnosed with autism in the summer of 2001 in London.
In the meanwhile, I invite readers who have read the book and Claudia’s book review to provide their own comments.Ĭlaudia Mazzucco is a writer, researcher, historian, editor and teacher of the history of golf. Silberman’s writings are of great interest to me, I have not read his book and will therefore forego providing an opinion of the same. Silberman I steadfastly believe in research and medical treatment for those autistic individuals that may need the same. In the blog Claudia reviews Steve Silberman’s recently published book “NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity”. The following is a blog written by one of our readers, Ms.
