Autism 2007
The Third Awares international online autism conference will start on November 26, 2007. It officially lasts for a week but Adam Feinstein of Autism Cymru is sure that it will be extended a number of times, as it was for the past two years, due to popular demand. This world online conference will run within the AWARES conference centre, hosted by Autism Cymru, Wales’ National Charity for Autism. This year, the conference has been kindly part-sponsored by Autism Speaks UK.
It is open for registrations now at www.autism2007.org where you can already read several of the experts’ abstracts. The small entry fee of £3 is payable upon registration. Entry is open to all.
