How did local authority educational psychologists find out about AS?

How did local authority educational psychologists find out about AS?

Was the NAS involved in raising awareness? If so, how did they do it?

It's probably safe to say that very few local authority educational psychologists knew about AS in 1990 but by 2000 it was an officially recognised condition.

  • I am wondering if some local authorities were clued up about AS before others. For example, one local authority could have had Autism and Asperger Syndrome by Uta Frith on the reading list of its educational psychologists as far back as 1992 whilst the local authority next door only found out about AS from the media or a parent suspecting their child has AS after 2000.

    Was Bromley an early local authority to recognise AS because the Centre for Social and Communication Disorders was established there in 1991?
