Question

How does the phrase “they use everything of the pig except the squeal”

Answer 1

Kanner’s (1943) original description of autism suggested that the basis for the social difficulties lay in a child’s inability to form emotional ties (“affective contact”) with parent(s). This view reflected two long-held assumptions in psychology: that one’s initial relationship with parents forms a blueprint for all other relationships and that maternal-infant relations grow from an affective bond rather than from the feeding experience.
