When did autism start to become high profile or well known through the media?

by admin on April 1, 2009

Staci asked:


These days I hear a lot of news and coverages of autism. In the past, I kept asking myself why was I so different from others and what was wrong with me until I learned of autism in 2004.

Were there any news or coverages of autism in 1990-2003? In K-12, I never heard the word “autism” and I was never tested for autism. If I had known about my autism back then, I would have gotten help.

Did autism start to become high profile and well known through the media in 2004? If not, when?
