Final extension of Autism2010 - Awares international online autism conference - until December 5, 2010

[Adam Feinstein]

Hi everyone,

I have decided to extend Autism2010 - the annual Awares international
online autism conference - for a final week, until 11.30pm British
time on December 5, 2010.

You can join in the lively discussions right now. Autism2010 is the
sixth international online autism conference to be held within the
AWARES conference centre, at http://www.awares.org/conferences

All of the presenters' papers are available on the site for you to
read. Professor Simon Baron-Cohen has called this "the finest online
conference on the planet."

The online conference is run, as every year, by the Editor of Awares,
Adam Feinstein, and hosted by Autism Cymru, Wales' National Charity
for Autism. Yet again, an unprecedented list of more than sixty of the
world's top autism authorities have agreed to take part and you have a
unique opportunity to put your questions directly to them online in
the Discussion forum.

There's an outstanding line-up of speakers for this year's conference.
They include several prominent people on the autistic spectrum - Donna
Williams, Wendy Lawson, Liane Holliday Willey, Jesse Saperstein,
Jeffrey Deutsch, Mark Ty-Wharton and Arman Khodaei - as well as
leading researchers such as Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, Professor
Susan Leekam, Dr 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), Dr Connie Kasari and Dr Peter Mundy;
top educationalists like Professor Rita Jordan and Professor Gary
Mesibov and key world autism advocates such as Merry Barua in India.

You can also, of course, exchange views with other delegates on the
wide range of topics which include: Voices from the spectrum, sensory
issues, socialisation, screening and diagnosis, lobbying and advocacy,
education, behaviour problems, Asperger's syndrome, brain studies,
genetics, immunology, adolescents and adults, psychology, biomedical
approaches, related conditions, language issues, legislation and
savant syndrome.

Please let anyone else know who might be interested. The Awares
international online conference is always a stimulating, entertaining
and informative event.

Awares is the pioneering website of Autism Cymru, Wales's national
charity for autism.

Best wishes,

Adam Feinstein
