Abstract
In his original description of children with early infantile autism, Kanner (1943) commented that the parents were usually highly intelligent and that many were rather obsessive individuals who lacked real warmth. Subsequently he elaborated on these parental features (Kanner, 1949), and together with Eisenberg went on to suggest that autism was the result of an interaction between an innate ‘organic’ defect and a particular family environment (Eisenberg and Kanner, 1956; Eisenberg, 1957).
