problems that are related to development. This disorder when diagnosedsignifies the
child’sinfection in terms of his or her skills of play, communication and also social interactions
among others. The disorder is related to the development of the brain that in return affects child’s
socializationabilities and thereby affecting ones interactions as well as communication (Cohmer
2014).
Refrigerator mother theory refers to a thrown away theory that autism is brought about by
lack of motherly warmness. The theory has been argued against that autism can be caused by
factors such as being exposed to ecological causes and hereditary factors.
The refrigerator mother theory has since received varied reactions based on the stand of the
causes of the disorder. Many scholars can be used see the reactions and they include;
Leo Kanner
He was a psychiatrist in the University of Hopkins in the year 1943 and from his
perspective he saw autism as a distinctive neurological situation (Cohmer 2014).
Kannerexplained a criterion for autism at various grounds that he used to explain the sourceof
refrigerator mother theory. He used a small sampling of children from educated families and
because he was limited to that small sampling he made a wrong assumption that autism was
common among highly intellectual white, middle and upper class parents. His theory saw many
mothers be ones to blame for the disorder (Barned et al 2012).
