Asperger Syndrome

Hans Asperger used to love telling the story of his life; thus all I have to do is retell it. He was born in Vienna in 1906. His grandfather's family had been farmers east of the capital of the Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy for many generations. As a high school student, he became acquainted with the "German Youth Movement." It was in this movement that this achievementoriented and intellectual young man was to find all those things he valued most throughout his lifetime. There he discovered friendship, mountaineering, nature, art as a source of strength and repose, and literature—the medium in which he moved and lived.
