Some Experts - Part 1


In my research, I am finding that it is necessary to study two separate areas – I am looking at the work done by experts in both in the field of Library Science and specialists in Autism and Asperger research and education. 

The following is a list of some well-known leaders in the field of Autism research and education:

Dr. Tony Attwood
Dr. Simon Baron-Cohen
Dr. Uta Frith
Dr. Christopher Gillberg
Dr. Temple Grandin
Dr. Stephen Shore
Dr. Lorna Wing

Many of the people on this list have contributed significantly to the field of Autism research.  Others, such as Dr. Temple Grandin and Dr. Stephen Shore, have shared their experiences and the challenges they have faced as persons with AS, and have inspired others with their accomplishments.

This list is by no means complete. As I continue my research, I am discovering additional contributors to this field. The website, Autism Today, provides a resource list of experts and their biographical information.
