→Possible causes of autism: => changing section title to a question
Autism was first identified clinically in 1943 by Dr. [[Leo Kanner]]. Dr. Hans Asperger also did some research into autism at about the same time and discovered Asperger's syndrome. As early as the 90's many psychotherapies were used to treat it or least hide its symptoms, including Applied Behavioral Analysis ([[ABA therapy]]).

Although no one knows how autism develops, experts have focused on physical causes such as environmental toxins, the vaccine preservative [[thimerosal]], and the diet of both the mother (pre-birth and during breastfeeding) and child.
