 Asperger syndrome: a clinical account by Lorna Wing
Wing and Gould (1979) carried out a study in which all the mentally and physically handicapped children aged under 15 in one area of London were screened in order to identify cases of early childhood psychosis and severe mental retardation.

 AWARES - About autism
Lorna Wing suggests that ancient legends of 'fairy changeling' children, in which fairies were believed to steal away a human baby and leave a fairy child in its place, are actually early references to autism.
It was not until the extensive research work of Lorna Wing and Judith Gould in the late 1970s in Camberwell (UK) that it became apparent that both the diagnoses of Kanner and Asperger were accurate.
By examining a large sample of children on one area of London, Wing and Gould were able to show that Kanner's Syndrome and Asperger's Syndrome were both part of a wide range of disorders affecting social interaction and communication.
