About Lorna Wing
Lorna Gladys Wing was a British psychiatrist notable for her research into autism. She coined the term Asperger's syndrome and helped found the National Autistic Society. They initiated the Camberwell Case Register to record all patients using psychiatric services in this area of London. They also set up the Centre for Social and Communication Disorders, the first integrated diagnostic and advice service for these conditions in the UK. It was following their realisation that their daughter Susie (1956–2005) was autistic that Lorna Wing became involved in researching developmental disorders, particularly autistic spectrum disorders.
