Léo Kanner
Léo Kanner was an Austrian-American psychiatrist known for his pioneering work in child psychiatry, particularly for his description of autism in the 1940s. His observations laid the groundwork for understanding developmental disorders, although his early work created confusion between autism and schizophrenia, a distinction that has since been clarified.
