Esquirol and Idiocy edit

According to page 15 of “ The development of intelligence in children ( The Binet-Simon scale)” written by Alfred Binet, Esquirol was the first to differentiate idiocy. Passage from the book:

“[…]he develops this fact in great details and certainly understood and certainly understood its importance. Ordinarily when everyone cites the names of Esquirol in a history of idiocy it is to bring out the fact that we owe to him a classification of idiocy founded upon the power of speech. It is true that Esquirol has made that classification.” Alirezakarbalaee (talk) 21:58, 14 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
