Summer is conference season.<\/p>\n

I honestly don’t follow the “autism community” and did not know there was an autism conference for individuals with ASDs. The “Autreat” is currently underway, but I thought I’d mention it so people could learn more about the sponsor and consider future events.<\/p>\n

Autism Network International
Autreat 2010: Living Life the Autly Way
June 28 – July 2, 2010
Bradford, Pennsylvania
http:\/\/www.autreat.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

I can’t say much about ANI or Autreat. I’m sure there is much more to the conference and I’d learn a lot from any presentations. I find the title of the conference odd; I don’t know what “autly” is and the suggestion of a “way” to live doesn’t appeal to me. Still, I generally dislike conference titles.<\/p>\n

The “big event” within the autism community is probably the ASA conference.<\/p>\n

Autism Society of America
41st Annual Autism Society National
Conference and Exposition will be held
July 7-10, 2010 in Dallas, TX
http:\/\/www.autism-society.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n

I have spoken at ASA conferences and will be at this year’s gathering. I tend to wander the vendor area and listen to what people are saying. There are some hucksters present at these events, but there are also a lot of publishers, researchers, and service providers.<\/p>\n

There will be a gathering of bloggers Friday night during the ASA conference. If you are going and would like to meet up with the outspoken members of the community, please e-mail me and I’ll pass along the “e-vite” link to the Happy Hour event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
