Abstract
Letter to the editor in response to Michael Fitzgerald’s controversial allegation that one of the two pioneers of autism—Leo
Kanner—may have been influenced by an earlier paper by the other autism pioneer—Hans Asperger—without acknowledging the debt,
and that Kanner may even have been guilty of plagiarising Asperger. In correspondence, Professor Fitzgerald has suggested
that I “consider doing my take on the matter”. This is it.
