What is the history of Autism?

Autism was described by Leo kannte in the 1940s

Before the term 'Autism' existed, we were still here in about the same percentages as now, we were just labelled 'stupid' or were accepted as we were. When the term was first used, it referred to a type of schizophrenia (which it isn't). Then the Nazis started killing us (as they are wont to do to people they don't like), and Hans Asperger (also a Nazi) said, "maybe we shouldn't kill some of them," and created functioning labels, a thing society still struggles with today. Then Lovaas said we were, and this is a direct quote, "not people in the psychological sense" (which is a big yikes from me) and made ABA a thing, which is an abusive 'therapy' that does nothing except cause Autistic people to be so scared of having important things to them taken away (or of being hurt) that they waste all their energy trying not to look Autistic, which is damaging long term and, you guessed it, causes PTSD. Then some other guy said vaccines cause Autism (which is not true) and people decided they'd rather have their kids die of preventable diseases than be like us. All in all, it's no surprise that we had to go make our own community. Most people still don't care about our wellbeing today.
