Hans Asperger
Hans Asperger was an Austrian pediatrician whose research in the 1940s led to the identification of Asperger's syndrome, a condition on the autism spectrum characterized by difficulties in social interaction and communication. His work laid the foundation for understanding this neurobiological condition, which is often referred to as high-functioning autism. Asperger's contributions are commemorated annually on February 18, the International Asperger's Syndrome Day, which honors his legacy and raises awareness about the condition.
Born on Feb 18, 1906 (119 years old)
