Autism One 2005 Conference May 26 – 29 Chicago Marriott O'Hare Hotel http://AutismOne.org For parents and professionals for the care, treatment, and recovery of children with autism 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 James, Dr. Rashid Buttar, Dr. Mady Hornig, Dr. Richard Deth, Dr. Andrew 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 David Kirby, author of Evidence of Harm, will deliver the keynote address. David 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.

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.
