The number of children diagnosed with autism is on the rise and, unlike many neurological disorders, this one will always keep you guessing.  The greatest truth that we know about children with autism is that no two will be alike.  This session will discuss exactly what autism is, how our understanding of autism continues to progress and just why each of these amazing kids is so different.  As a researcher in the area of autism and the father of a child with autism, Dr. Mears will talk through the truth, the fads and the misunderstandings which surround autism.  This presentation is for parents/caregivers/professionals only. 

There is a cost of $5 per person to help cover presenter costs.
