Dear All,

The more I think about it Dr Wing has done us all a great service. She rediscovered the work of Hans Asperger and thus has done us the world of good. While cricket and football players seem to quickly get things like MBEs or OBEs she has not been honnored in a similar way.

Do you think we should lobby for her to get a prize ?

Also Sister Victorine Zak should get something good named after her, from what I have heard she was a kind nun who looked after children with autism and was killed while trying to protect them during an air raid.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.
