I know who Donna Williams is (we have some things in common) and of course Tony Attwood. My Dr. has mentioned Karl Reichelt and I think Digby Tantam. Could be interesting

Also just registered. I'll be really interested in reading the paper on curing aspects of Asperger's. A while ago, I posted on here mentioning how I overcame some communication issues and how now I can talk to people much more easily than I ever did before.

I wonder if that's what that paper refers to... exercises that gradually address such issues as socialising with NTs or something along those lines...

Splinter skills is something that I'm interested in reading about, too. Too bad we have to wait until 10 October...

I've registered as well.

I recognize Uta Frith, Tony Attwood, Simon Baron-Cohen, and Donna Williams.

I noticed the discussion boards open on the 5th of October. What are the dates of 17th-21st for?

I've also noticed that Tony Attwood's paper listed on the Conference Center main page right now, Emotion Management Strategies for children and adults with Asperger's Syndrome, is the one which is the topic of his seminar which I will be attending come this October 5th in St. Louis.

Kewel!

I have registered for this too and it could be quite interesting as there seem to be some leading names in the field presenting papers.
