Kanner's syndrome
Kanner's Syndrome, now commonly referred to as autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a developmental condition characterized by challenges in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. It was first described by psychiatrist Leo Kanner in 1943. Individuals with Kanner's Syndrome may have difficulty understanding social cues, forming relationships, and expressing their emotions. They often exhibit specific interests or routines and may react strongly to changes in their environment. The severity and combination of symptoms can vary widely among individuals, and understanding and support can help them thrive in various aspects of life.
