Close to 90 speakers, including many internationally respected leaders, will present at the conference, sharing the latest research and about autism and related issues. Speakers include renowned medical professionals, teachers, behaviour analysts, and parents of autistic children.

Scott Robertson, a Penn State Ph.D. student in Information Technology Sciences living with Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism, will deliver the keynote address, "Adult Living with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Challenges, Aspirations, and Success."

After finding last year's conference to be an effective forum for discussion and increased understanding, Robertson is excited to have a role this year's conference. "I greatly enjoy having the opportunity to share my thoughts and beliefs with people in the audience and hear about their own experiences and perspectives on adult living and autism," he said.

Many family members of autistic individuals will also be in attendance. To help them get the most out of the experience, the Penn Stater Conference Center and Hotel provides free day-care during the conference, through its Children's Institute, for the first 100 children to be registered.
