The Autism Society of America recognizes that families and individuals

living with an autism spectrum disorder have a range of issues and needs.

The National Conference of the Autism Society of America is the only

conference that addresses the range of issues, including early intervention,

education, employment, behavior, communication, social skills, biomedical

interventions and others, across the entire lifespan. Bringing together the

expertise and experiences of family members, professionals and individuals

on the spectrum, attendees are able to learn how to more effectively

advocate and obtain supports for the individual with ASD. The ultimate goal

is to empower family members, individuals on the spectrum and professionals

to make informed decisions.
