Abstract

In his review of the literature on childhood schizophrenia, Kanner (1973), the original diagnostician of autism, points out that, like adult schizophrenia, childhood schizophrenia does not exist as a unitary disease entity. The singularity of the term schizophrenia is misleading; it refers in fact to a group of disorders that share certain common factors. This position is shared by many others, such as Shapiro, who refer to this problem as a spectrum disorder.
