Highlights
This year we have two special opportunities open to all conference attendees:

ASA’s first annual Science Symposium will be held on Thursday, July 23. It promises to be a critical gathering of researchers in cross-functional disciplines working to solve the many important questions in autism and present the latest in applied research.

For the third year, we are presenting a Continuing Medical Education track. On Saturday, July 25, this day long workshop, Autism as a Complex Crisis: What are its contributors and how do they hang together?, will focus on Treatment Guided Research. *Conference attendees seeking CME credits must register and pay for those credits.

One Wednesday, July 22, there are seven Preconference Workshops including:
