It had the personal backing of British Prime Minister Tony Blair. [103] This was the first ever occasion of partnership working on autism on such a huge scale. 2002 Autism Awareness Year helped raise awareness of the serious issues concerning autism and Asperger's Syndrome across the United Kingdom.

Lorna Wing's February 1981 publication of the paper "Asperger's Syndrome: A Clinical Account" [241] greatly increased awareness of the existence of Hans Asperger's autism work. [310] [311] [48] Wing summarised Asperger's autism syndrome, and made two challenges to points he had made. She also provided six case studies of her own, and much ...

This quote could quite nearly have come out of "Thinking in Pictures : and Other Reports from My Life with Autism" by Temple Grandin (1996). She is autistic, not dyslexic. She also writes about Einstein, and speculates whether or not he had Asperger's Syndrome (an autistic spectrum condition).

Although their intelligence levels appeared normal, the children lacked nonverbal communication skills, failed to demonstrate empathy with their peers, and were physically clumsy.
Asperger syndrome was a relatively new diagnosis in the field of autism, [152] though a syndrome like it was described as early as 1925 by Soviet child psychiatrist Grunya Sukhareva (1891–1981), [153] [1] As a child, Asperger appears to have exhibited some features of the very condition named after him, such as remoteness and talent in language.
An earlier attempt at a Wikipedia article on Einstein Syndrome mentioned that Richard Feynman, G. Gordon Liddy, Benito Mussolini, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Julia Robinson, Arthur Rubinstein, Clara Schumann and Edward Teller had all been retrospectively diagnosed as sufferers – in addition of course to Albert Einstein, after whom it is named.
