Hans Asperger, Jr.

Age of Autism writer Dan Olmsted  and fellow writer Mark Blaxill met up with the son of Hans Asperger in Vienna, Austria.  Hans Asperger, Jr. spoke about what his father was like around children.  Hans Jr. is one of four children of the famed Vienna doctor who wrote a paper of his discoveries in 1944, a year after Leo Kanner's paper.

Olmsted and Blaxill are doing research on a book about the natural history of autism and spent several days in Vienna.
