In 1944, an Austrian paediatrician called Hans Asperger published what can be considered the first definition of what was to become known as Asperger Syndrome, when he described the traits of some test subjects with behaviours and abilities that he termed as an "autistic psychopathy".
Once post-war peace and recovery eventuated, it was still a remarkably long time before the subject of Aspergers filtered to the English-speaking world via translations from German, and in a 1981 academic paper Lorna Wing introduced and popularised the term Asperger's Syndrome.
Here in New Zealand, significant numbers of diagnoses in childhood really did not get underway until 1995. That points to why such a fascinating difference is only just now getting the attention it has always deserved.
Perhaps the profound set of differences that make up Asperger's can, at least in adult life (after an individual has mastered the many strategies to camouflage the more obvious traits of Asperger's Syndrome) be thought of as a certain type of eccentricity/oddness or a lopsided concreteness in thought, and therefore certainly one which may have existed since the origin of humankind also?
