Autism Across the Life Span |
This conference will featuring keynote speaker Eustacia Cutler, author, ASD advocate, and the mother of Temple Grandin. Ms. Cutler will present, "Yes, Your Child is Autistic. Who is Your Child? Who are You?" in which she explains four stumbling blocks affecting children with ASD--Conceptual Thinking, Context, Eye Contact, and Shared Information. Cutler states that none of these has a physical reality; ASD children are literal and therefore have trouble understanding what they cannot see or touch.
