Autism Symposium Registration Is Now Open!

Please join us for our upcoming Autism Symposium: Reflections on the Progress of Science and Care, which will be held on Wednesday, October 4, 2023, from 9 AM – 12 PM ET. To attend this free event virtually, please register here.

Catherine Lord, PhD, will present the keynote, "Looking Back in Order to Move Forward: Autism from 2 to 32 Years." Dr. Lord is renowned for co-developing the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS and ADOS-2) and the Autism Diagnostic Interview (ADI and ADI-R), which together are considered the "gold standard” for the diagnosis of ASD. The symposium will feature a range of expert speakers from research, clinical care, and education. The sessions will describe ways in which various initiatives are impacting the lives of children, teens, and young adults with autism. There will also be a facilitated session to discuss educational options for young people with autism.
