= Improving Existing Article = Leo Kanner Wikipedia Page: Add citation to all quotes (especially in first paragraph), add more information to "Life in the United States", add section on educational background, re-structure "Studies of Autism" section so that it is easier to read (not one big paragraph), and add a section for rewards.

What I want to Contribute to Leo Kanner
I would like to rewrite/reorganize the section on Kanner's study of autism. That section is currently very jumbled and not well organized. Furthermore, I would like to add more information about Kanner's personal life.

Specific Things to Add

 * Separate "Life and Career" into distinct sections. Particularly information there should be more information added about Kanner's personal life in this article
 * Edits to Personal Life section
 * Leo Kanner, the only child Clara Reisfeld Kanner and Abraham Kanner, was born as Chaskel Leib Kanner in Klekotow, Austria in 1894.
 * As a young boy, Kanner wanted to pursue a career in poetry but could not get his work published.
 * In 1913, Leo Kanner graduated from the Sophien Gymnasium in Berlin. He then attended the Staatsexamen, graduating in 1919, and then enrolled at the University of Berlin. However, his medical education was interrupted by World War I and he briefly went to serve in the military. After the war ended, Kanner resumed his education and received his medical degree in 1912.
 * Kanner received position as a senior physician at the Yankton State Hospital in South Dakota upon his arrival to the United States.
 * Edits in the Career section
 * Achievements and Awards Section
 * Received Stanley Dean Award in 1965.


 * Add more information to "Life in the United States" Section. Most of Leo Kanner's career was in the United States. Certainly, this section should outweigh the "Life in Berlin" section.


 * More Pictures! This article only has one picture of Leo Kanner
