핵심 내용
When a Child Had No Name
In 1933, a boy was born in Forest, Mississippi who would change medical history-though no one knew it yet. Donald Triplett sang Christmas carols perfectly at fifteen months, could unlatch windows with remarkable cleverness, yet seemed utterly disconnected from the world around him. He developed elaborate rituals that, when interrupted, triggered screaming fits. His parents were baffled. Doctors were stumped. And so, following expert advice, they did what seemed necessary: they institutionalized their three-year-old son at a place called the Preventorium, where his vibrant spirit withered into silence. This wasn't cruelty-it was standard medical practice in an era when children like Donald were labeled "idiots," "imbeciles," or simply "defective." Even the beloved Dr. Spock recommended institutionalizing disabled babies immediately to spare families from being "too wrapped up" in children who would "never develop very far." But Donald's story didn't end there. It began a revolution that would eventually touch millions of lives and redefine what it means to be human. What if autism has always been with us, woven into the fabric of human experience, simply waiting to be recognized? Long before Leo Kanner borrowed the term "autism" from psychiatric literature in 1943, individuals matching this profile appeared throughout history-though they were called by different names. In 16th-century Russia, "Holy Fools" like Basil walked naked through winter, spoke incomprehensibly, and showed indifference to physical discomfort. Rather than being shunned, Basil was revered as holy, respected even by the feared Tsar Ivan the Terrible. In 1740s Scotland, Hugh Blair obsessively collected twigs and feathers, wore his wigs backward, and showed more interest in animals than people-behaviors documented in legal proceedings when his brother sought to annul Hugh's marriage. In 1800, a nearly naked twelve-year-old emerged from a French forest, displaying remarkable physical abilities yet extreme selectivity in hearing-deaf to pistol shots but instantly reacting to a nut being cracked in another room. These weren't isolated cases but patterns repeating across centuries and continents, suggesting autism has always been part of human diversity, simply unnamed and misunderstood until our modern age gave it language.
