[Guest guest]

Hello,www.awares.org/conferencesJust to let you know that you can register right now for Autism2010, the sixth international online conference to be held within the AWARES conference centre, at www.awares.org/conferencesThe conference is run once again by the Editor of Awares, Adam Feinstein, and hosted by Autism Cymru, Wales' National Charity for Autism. Yet again, an unprecedented list of the world's top autism authorities has agreed to take part and you will have a unique opportunity to put your questions directly to them online in the Discussion forum once the conference officially opens on November 8, 2010. I will be putting the speakers' papers on the website over the next couple of weeks to give delegates a chance to read them before the conference starts and to prepare questions for the experts.There's an outstanding list of speakers lined up for Autism2010. They include several prominent people on the autistic spectrum - Donna , Lawson, Shore, Liane Holliday Willey and Saperstein - as well as leading researchers such as Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, Professor Rita Jordan, Dr Mundy, Dr Pamela Heaton, Dr Connie Kasari, Dr o Tuchman and Darold Treffert (Darold is the world's leading expert on autistic savants - in fact he coined the term - and was a chief adviser on the film Rain Man), top educationalists such as Professor Mesibov and leading world autism advocates such as Merry Barua in India.The wide range of topics will include: Voices from the spectrum, sensory issues, socialisation, diagnosis and assessment. Asperger's syndrome, brain studies, genetics, immunology, adolescents and adults, psychology, biomedical approaches, related conditions, language issues, legislation and savant syndrome.The online conference always proves to be a stimulating, entertaining and informative event. Please let anyone else know who might be interested. The event opens on November 8, 2010, and runs for a week, although I have always extended it due to popular demand.Awares is the pioneering website of Autism Cymru, Wales's national charity for autism.Feel free to e-mail me for more details.Best wishes, Adam Feinstein-- Adam Feinsteinhttp://adamfeinstein.wordpress.com/
