Autistic children: Leo Kanner

Is infantile autism (also known as Kanner autism) really characterized by a mental deficiency associated with a lack of empathy and repetitive behaviors that prevent interaction with the environment?

Far from clichés and preconceived ideas, this edition of Leo Kanner's work by Dr. Kevin Rebecchi, PhD reveals a text that is still relevant today, almost 50 years after it was written!

It reveals a text describing, in a clinical context, several cases of autistic girls and boys, with commentary in an afterword providing a better grasp of the issues and perspectives relating to the questions and problems of autism and neurodiversity.
