Adam Feinstein has decided  to extend Autism2009 – the Awares annual international online autism conference –for another week, until Friday December 11, 2009. I hope this will allow as many people as possible time to read the papers and put their questions to the more than sixty top world autism experts taking part.
 
This event – which Professor Simon Baron-Cohen has called “the finest online conference of its type on the planet” – is being run once again by Adam Feinstein, editor of Awares, the pioneering website of Autism Cymru, Wales’s national charity for autism.
 
Yet again, you have the unique opportunity to put your questions directly to the autism experts, as well as to exchange views with thousands of delegates. Among the experts participating are:  Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, Professor Susan Leekam, Dr Gary Mesibov, Donna Williams, Dr Wendy Lawson, Dr Susan Folstein, Merry Barua, Dr Darold Treffert,  Professor Stuart Murray, Stephen Shore, Thorkil Sonne, Dr Manuel Casanova, Dr Connie Kasari Dr Pamela Heaton, Dr Dirk Dossche, Dr Wendy Kates, Dr George Anderson and Dr Amanda Ludlow.  I will try to persuade as many experts as possible to stay on for the second week.
 
Topics of discussion include:  education, behavioural issues, language impairments, voices from the spectrum, neurology, genetics, immunology, Asperger’s syndrome, autism in adolescents and adults, employment, sensory issues, socialising difficulties, biomedical issues and approaches, related conditions and concepts of autism.
 
This conference is open to anyone with an interest in autism:  parents, carers, teachers, clinicians and other professionals, as well as individuals with autism themselves.
 
Don’t this miss this unique opportunity to put your questions directly to some of the world’s top autism authorities. You can register for Autism2009 right now at  www.awares.org/conferences   where you will find the speakers' papers and a lively discussion forum.
