I have deleted the line "Some call him the "father of autism" due to his tactful behavior approach to treating autism." Because (a) googling 'the father of autism' gets more citations for Kanner (which is fair) followed by Shopler (because he died) than for Lovaas, and (b) 'tactful'doesn't really seem to cover the occasional uses by Kanner of physical punishment and LSD.

• These uses of physical punishment were far from occasional, nor were they in any way mild. He is a filthy torturer of innocent children and belongs in prison.--Ensrifraff 22:07, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
