Hi all,

Love is Survival.

This is why I created Love & Autism: A Conference with Heart in Sunny San Diego on August 23-24th. Autism can not be reduced to behaviors and compliance. Relationships are fundamentally human and this does not change with the neurology associated with autism. There is a common myth that is associated with autism..that they do not need relationships. Help change that myth.

This unique conference will only focus on the most important thing in life- the need to love and be loved. World experts including many inspiring speakers with autism will present on love and relationships as it pertains to those on the spectrum across the life span.


The line-up is super exciting:
Dr. Daniel Siegel, Dora Raymaker, Lindsey Nebeker & David Hamrick, Dr. Peter Hobson, Dr. Jessica Hobson, Dr Josh Feder, Donna Williams, Jenny Palmiotto, Kathy Darrow, Paul Louden and Q & A with the film makers of an upcoming documentary Autism In Love

check it out.

but most of us with LFA dont have human relationships because we view humans as objects all of the same worth,we have a profound disconnect to people,and that isnt a bad thing to us-we dont feel lonliness,we arent missing anything.
the only relationships of mine are with animals.
