I'm speaking at the Penn Autism Conference this afternoon in Philadelphia. If you live in the area, PM me and we could meet up! I'm speaking about transition to college and my experiences with WrongPlanet.

Here's a link to more info on the conference:

http://www.med.upenn.edu/pan/annual_conference.html

my website has videos of me talking at other conferences in case you want to know how to recognize me:

I think I'll be personally speaking somewhere between 1:00 and 3:00.

Sorry folks but Katie won't be with me this time. :coffee:

Good luck with the conference! :) It does sound good from that linked website. I'd love to see it for myself, but unfortunately I think I live just a bit too far away... :P

Dang it... I was at Penn earlier this week. I wish I had known about this so I could have scheduled my visit differently.
