The first person diagnosed with autism dies
Donald Triplett

Donald Triplett, the first patient diagnosed with autism, has passed away at the age of 89, leaving an unprecedented contribution to medical science and humanity.

His case, of a child with strange behavior and emotional difficulties, led to the world's first diagnosis of autism.

Patient Zero, born in Forest, a small town in Mississippi where he lived all his life, was analyzed at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore in a 1943 report entitled "Autistic Disorders in Affective Contact," which remains a landmark and a cornerstone in identifying autism spectrum disorders.

But the first text for the diagnosis of the disease was the very detailed 22-page letter sent to the hospital by Triplett's parents, which described little Donald's attitudes, behaviors and quirks in a precise and sharp way.

Don worked for 65 years at Forest bank and is fondly remembered by all his colleagues and the bank administrator: “Don was a unique individual, fiercely independent, always interesting, he played golf, often traveled to exotic places. It was unique."

Numerous books and documentary products have been written about Triplett.
