[Long-term social and psychological prognosis of Kanner's early infantile autism. Apropos of 2 cases followed for 22 and 30 years respectively].
Two long-time (twenty-two and thirty years respectively) observed cases of kannerian precocious autisms are related, the author stressing the fact that the actual physio-pathological knowledge and therapeutics do not confirm the possibility of any valuable recuperation of this clinical entity. If these patients have not acquired linguistic competence before age five, they will be, in almost 100% of the cases, mentally infirm. Concerning the socioprofessional prognosis of those having acquired, in the physiological limits, a normal language, one cannot entirely forsee valuable successes.
