Itard worked with Victor for many years from 1800 to 1806, even though Victor did make some progress. He still never learned speech and how to cope with human society. Victor was still drawn to nature. Because Victor would not speak and was not able bond with human society was the reason Itard chose to abandon him. Because the reports that say Victor was an "incurable idiot"-he at first pointed out that the cause of Victor's behavior was the solitude he lived in many years in the wild-but later on he did come to realize Victor did suffer from a mental disability. His progress with Victor eventually began to slow down until Itard chose to abandon his experiment. Victor was left to live in a small house with the housekeeper (known as Victor's caregiver) Madame Guerin.

Who was Victor the wild boy of Aveyron?

Victor was a French feral child who lived in the woods in the countryside of France in early childhood. He was found naked and behaved like an animal. He was captured once but then escaped. He was recaptured and put in care of an old widow then escaped again. This time on the year of January 1800, he emerged from the woods on his own. It stated Victor was around 11 or 12 when he was spotted in St. Sernin. He was at first caught in St. Sernin then taken to an orphanage in Saint Affrique. The news spread about him all over France. Pierre Joseph Bonnetare a biological proffesor wanted to be the first one to study the boy. Most philosphers believed Victor to be a deaf-mute because he did not respond to certain questions or sounds-even though he can hear. Victor was soon taken to the National Institute for the Deaf-Mutes in Paris. Sicard was unable to educate him because of his behavior. Victor was being treated as a display to the Parisians, until the philosphers in Paris notified him that he was an incurable idiot (a child incable of learning). They thought Bicetre was the best solution. Itard a young medical student thinks of it different that his isolation from human society has caused his behavior. He decides to civlize the boy and gives him the name Victor. Victor did make progress in some things, but still never learned to speak, except saying two words "Lait (milk" and "Oh, Dieu (oh, God)". Itard later on after working for so many years gave up on the case. Victor was left in the care of Madame Guerin (the woman who nourished him, fed him and behaved like a mother to him). Victor died in Paris in 1828. There were some proven insticts later on that Victor had some autistic behaviors-because it was reported that they see him rock back and forth making guttural humming and his preference to certain food and how he reacted with clothing. Unable to weep or sneeze. Unable to feel certain temeratures and how he showed no reaction when he touched a burning coal. And why the philosphers labeled him as an "idiot" and why he was unable to communicate.

Why did Itard quit on educating Victor the wild boy?

Itard worked with Victor for 5 years. Victor did make some progress during his education but still never learned to speak and was still addicted to nature. Philosophers in Paris stated him as a mental idiot, which Itard first thought Victor's behavior was that he been living in the wild for a long time.

How did Victor the Savage of Aveyron die?

Was Victor the Wild Boy autistic?

There could've been some cases that he was. It was reported by Bonnetare the biological proffesor of Rodez that he saw him numerous times rocking back and forth or side to side making a strange humming sound. In Paris Victor was assumed to be mentally retarded. He never spoke. Later on in the 20th century historians say that it was the cause of autism that caused Victor the remain silent and why Itard gave up the case of educating him and why most people believed him to be mentally retarded. At first they believed autism caused his abandonment in the first place. Why he was never reacted to certain sounds. He didn't like being around children his peers and would pay no attention to those around him. He had no affection for anyone (he couldn't weep) and he couldn't sneeze until he did later on while being educated by Itard. Some scientist nowadays rule out that it was autism that helped him survive alone in the wild.
