Autism One is a 501(3)©, non-profit, charity organization, started by a

small group of parents of children with autism. Parents are and must remain the

driving force of our community, the stakes are too high and the issues too

scared to delegate to outside interests.

The most comprehensive conference on autism ever assembled now offers greater

focus to help you address specific needs, shorten your learning curve, and

bring you quickly up to speed.

Most Comprehensive

Questions and answers do not stop at the boundary of a discipline.

Multivariate in presentation and cure autism bows to the collective weight of

doctors

working with therapists working with educators working with parents working to

recover their children.

Our children benefit from an inter-disciplinary approach. Autism One 2005 is

proud to feature over 100 of the leading experts presenting in four tracks to

help you make the best decisions:

1. Biomedical Treatments

2. Behavior / Communication / Education Therapies

3. Complementary and Alternative Medicine

4. Government / Legal / Personal Issues

You will meet and learn from such outstanding experts as Dr. Jill , Dr.

Rashid Buttar, Dr. Mady Hornig, Dr. Deth, Dr. Wakefield, and

Dr. Temple Grandin to name only a few. You will be inspired by the progress

across disciplines reported by both practitioners and parents.

We are pleased Kirby, author of Evidence of Harm, will deliver the

keynote address. has written a fascinating book chronicling much of our

community’s recent history, including the big picture power plays, while

detailing

the struggle and obstacles each of us as parents face.

Greater Focus

This year we are introducing a number of important changes to provide what we

are calling a “lived experience.†Conferences have a tendency to talk at

you. That’s not good enough. Real learning occurs at a deeper level; a level

that

combines the abstract with the practical.

Initiatives include:

1. The Mentor Program: You may request a mentor. Mentors are fellow-parents

with recovered children or children well on their way to recovery.

2. Three Mini-Tracks: 1. Parents New to the diagnosis; 2. Puberty,

Adolescence and Adulthood and; 3. Environmental Medicine/Issues are available.

3. Pre-Conference Day, GFCF and SCD - Culinary Delight: The Pre-Conference

day is devoted to hands-on cooking to take the mystery out of gluten-

casein-free and specific carbohydrate diets.

4. Gluten/Casein free items on breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus: Menu

options will include gluten- and casein-free for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
