Autism across the Ages: An Abbreviated History

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series:Autism and Child Psychopathology Series ((ACPS))

Abstract

This chapter summarizes key scientific developments in autism research in the areas of etiology, diagnosis, and treatment, presented within the context of the world views of the time in which those developments were occurring. While an exhaustive review of every key scientific figure, clinician, advocate, and policy development was beyond our scope, here we highlight key influences on the evolution of scientific understanding in the field. It is clear that historical perspectives have strongly influenced conceptualizations of autism, including the questions posed and the lenses through which data is interpreted. A review of the historical record demonstrates that while there is still much to be learned, we can be encouraged by the substantial progress that has been made since the disorder’s formal introduction to the scientific and clinical literature in the 1940s, that research into the disorder continues to grow, and that outcomes for individuals with autism have improved substantially over time.
