Autism One 2009 Conference Overview

May 20-24, 2009, Chicago, IL

www.autismone.org

 

CHANGE HAS COME!

 

Did you wonder when change would come for your child?  Did you wonder when the

media would begin to turn, when more mainstream doctors and the public would

begin to shift their thinking, and when the cumulative body of science would

gather steam in exponentially building upon itself?  Well, change has come....

and we are happy to present it at Autism One.

 

Some 2009 highlights

Selected symposiums, seminars, workshops, think tanks, and lectures

 

Pre-Conference, Wednesday, May 20 & Thursday, May 21

 

Introducing EBCALA: The Birt Center for Autism Law and Advocacy

 

The mission of the Birt Center for Autism Law and Advocacy is to

address the immediate and ongoing legal and advocacy needs of the autism

community.  The Center seeks to provide:

- Legal education on autism issues

- Resources for legal practitioners and advocates

- A “think tank” to strategize about the legal and advocacy needs of the autism

community

 

The Miracle Project

 

The Miracle Project is a theatre and film arts program for children with special

needs and their typically developing siblings and peers. Autism: The Musical won

two Emmy Awards. Meet Elaine Hall (Founder & Creative Director) and Diane Isaacs

(Co-founder & Producer) during two days of Miracle Project workshops.

 

Beginning Biomedical Intervention - In Spanish!

 

Join Kerri for this special presentation delivered in Spanish. Kerri

is the mother of a child recovering from autism, and she has a DAN!-based

clinic in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

 

Thursday evening, May 21 - MAIN CONFERENCE BEGINS

 

Join Dr. to hear the latest on the state of

autism research; Drs. O'Hara and Dan Rossignol on beginning biomedical

treatment; and Dr. Bradstreet on advanced treatment topics.

 

Friday, May 22

Environmental Symposium

 

Have we reached a tipping point?  What is the intersection between genetics and

environmental triggers?  Join over half-a-dozen speakers, including Ken Cook of

the Environmental Working Group, Mark Corrales of the Environmental Protection

Agency, Dr. Martha Herbert of Harvard/MGH, Philip and Alice Shabecoff, authors

of Poisoned Profits, and Dr. , University of Texas Health Science

Center at San , for over 6 hours of compelling information, including an

evening Q & A.

 

Residential Think Tank and Presentation

 

Are you concerned about what will happen to your child if they are not recovered

by the time they age out of state-provided services?  We are, too. Join in on a

residential think tank with steering committee members of the Autism Human

Rights and Discrimination Initiative and others who are working on a safe,

fulfilling future and residential solutions.  We are proud to introduce for the

first time at an Autism One Conference Cheryl Kilmer, president of the Training,

Education & Research Institute, a model program in the state of California.

 

Language Seminar and Think Tank

 

Let's Talk About Talk! Join Dr. n Blank, Dr. Harry Schneider, and Beth

Cull of Columbia University as they lead a revolution in how to think about

language, teach language, communication, and reading, and -- most importantly --

RESTORE LANGUAGE in the nonverbal child through means including state-of-the-art

diagnostic testing and neuromodulation.

 

Vaccine Education Seminar

 

Have you ever wondered how to talk to your mainstream pediatrician and your

in-laws, start a grassroots advocacy movement, coordinate a rally, educate other

parents, gain a vaccine exemption using titers, or fight for the right of

Informed Consent?  What is the vaccine " political " landscape and the underlying

structure of the Federal Vaccine Advisory Committees? How do industry,

government, and organized medicine operate together? What vaccines are coming

down the pike, what are the new adjuvants in development -- what does the future

hold?  How can you participate in the process?  Barbara Loe Fisher, President of

the NVIC, Vicky Debold, PhD, RN, and Louise Kuo Habakus, HHP, AADP of the NJ

Coalition for Vaccination Choice help empower you in this half-day seminar.

 

Saturday, May 23

Autism Team Forum: Conversations Towards Recovery

 

Dr. Bradstreet, Jacquie Mancini, Alanna Apap, BCBA, Donna Wexler, MA,

CCC-SLP, paraprofessional, Soffici, and teacher, Kim Brown describe the

team approach to recovering a child, Mancini, from the specifics of

helping , to the general methodologies employed in each of their

complementary disciplines of biomedical, behavioral, educational, social skills

therapy, and other approaches. This event will include lectures and a Q & A panel

period.

 

Dr. Woody McGinnis...For the first time....

 

Loss of vocalization, changes in social behavior, and altered gastrointestinal

function occur in variable permutations in a significant subset—probably a

majority—of children who eventually receive the diagnosis of autism.  Regression

of an ostensibly well child is at once a great tragedy and mystery of autism,

and occurs in the second year of life, after maturation of the protective

blood-brain barrier. A number of small areas which cluster around the primitive

brainstem fail to develop blood-brain barrier, so may act as portals for entry

of a broad class of toxins including mercury, cadmium, herbicide, and MSG.

Conceivably, many abnormal findings in autism—most particularly, regression—stem

from one or more toxins entering these areas of brain. In 1964, Rimland was the

first to suggest primary brainstem involvement in autism.  For the first time in

a public conference, Dr. McGinnis explains how toxins hypothetically trigger

autistic

regression, and presents data from examination of relevant areas of brainstem

and vagus nerve from children with autism.    

 

An afternoon with Dr. Amy Yasko

 

An Autism One favorite, Dr. Amy Yasko returns with an afternoon of information

about her nutrigenomic testing and protocols.

 

The Elias Tembenis Seizures Think Tank

 

The incidence of seizures is increasingly reported to autism organizations.

Seizures are prevalent and risky. Elias Tembenis, who was recovering from

autism, ultimately passed away while having a seizure. We must figure this out. 

Autism One is bringing together doctors to work together on the process.

Lectures will follow on Sunday. Autism One will host the annual Elias Tembenis

mini-Walk on Friday, with proceeds going to the National Autism Association. 

Autism One is proud to present for the first time at an Autism One Conference

Dr. Seyyed Hossein Fatemi. Dr. Fatemi received a PhD in Human Anatomy and Cell

Biology from the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Following receipt of his

medical degree from Case Western Reserve University and completion of his

residency in psychiatry at University Hospitals in Cleveland, Dr. Fatemi was

appointed Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Cell Biology and Neuroanatomy at

University of Minnesota Medical

School. Dr. Fatemi was promoted to full professor of psychiatry and adjunct

professor of neuroscience in 2006. In 2007 he was also promoted to adjunct

professor of pharmacology. Dr. Fatemi authored GABAA Receptor Downregulation in

Brains of Subjects with Autism and Expression of GABAB Receptors Is Altered in

Brains  of Subjects with Autism.
