When reading Michael Fitzgerald's chapter entitled 'Autism: Asperger's Syndrome-History and First Descriptions' in 'Asperger's Disorder' edited by Rausch, Johnson and Casanova, a while ago, one of us was struck by his contention that Kanner was guilty of plagiarism as well as non-attribution of Asperger's 1938 paper 'Das psychisch abnorme kind' (Fitzgerald in Asperger's disorder. Informa Healthcare, New York, 2008) published in a Vienna weekly. Steve Silberman has discovered evidence that Kanner rescued Asperger's chief diagnostician from the Nazis in 1944 so must have been aware of Asperger's work and conclusions. Fitzgerald was on the right track but it appears that Kanner may have plagiarised Asperger's ideas rather than his 1938 paper.
不久前,我们中的一人在阅读迈克尔·菲茨杰拉德(Michael Fitzgerald)在劳施(Rausch)、约翰逊(Johnson)和卡萨诺瓦(Casanova)编辑的《阿斯伯格障碍》(Asperger's Disorder)中题为“自闭症:阿斯伯格综合征——历史与首次描述”的章节时,被他的观点所触动,即卡纳(Kanner)犯了剽窃罪,并且没有提及阿斯伯格1938年发表在维也纳一份周刊上的论文《Das psychisch abnorme kind》(菲茨杰拉德,《阿斯伯格障碍》。Informa Healthcare,纽约,2008年)。史蒂夫·西尔伯曼(Steve Silberman)发现证据表明,卡纳在1944年将阿斯伯格的首席诊断师从纳粹手中解救出来,所以肯定知晓阿斯伯格的工作和结论。菲茨杰拉德的思路是正确的,但似乎卡纳可能剽窃的是阿斯伯格的观点,而非他1938年的论文。
