| Abstract |
Letter to the editor in response to Michael Fitzgerald's controversial allegation that one of the two pioneers of autism--Leo Kanner--may have been influenced by an earlier paper by the other autism pioneer--Hans Asperger--without acknowledging the debt, and that Kanner may even have been guilty of plagiarising Asperger. In correspondence, Professor Fitzgerald has suggested that I "consider doing my take on the matter". This is it. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 April 2012.
All research outputs
#3,853,368
of 25,654,806 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders
#1,594
of 5,484 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,794
of 174,798 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders
#15
of 51 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,654,806 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,484 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 174,798 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 51 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
