ASAN Symposium on Ethical, Legal and Social Implications of Autism Research

The Autistic Self Advocacy Network and Harvard Law School are excited to announce the live webcast of the Symposium on Ethical, Legal and Social Implications of Autism Research. Topics covered will include prenatal testing, community participation in research methodologies, appropriate and inappropriate intervention goals and much more.


This symposium will serve a unique role in shedding light on ethics and values issues within the autism research community. By bringing together self-advocate and researcher participants, we hope this will serve as a starting point for meaningful dialogue between those conducting research on autism and the community of Autistic adults and youth. Confirmed participants include Administration on Developmental Disabilities Commissioner Sharon Lewis, ASAN President and IACC Public Member Ari Ne'eman, National Institute on Child Health and Human Developmental Director Alan Guttmacher, Emily Titon, Liz Pellicano, David Rose and many more.


This event is open to the general public without charge and is made possible by a grant from the Administration on Developmental Disabilities.

If my in-laws computer doesn't freeze up when I try to run the video, I'm there.

If it does, please post what goes down.

This is... potentially exciting. From our resident pessimist.
