October 27-30: USAAA 2011 World Conference & Expo, Seattle, Washington

Whether you've just received a diagnosis of autism or you've struggled for years to find answers, you know how difficult it can be to find hope. The vast amount of information, in cyberspace or print, from doctors to friends, on special diets to social skills, can overwhelm even the most dedicated parent. How can you sort through the junk mail and begin down the road to success?

Introducing the US Autism & Asperger Association 2011 World Conference & Expo. The theme: "Autism Education and Treatment: A Road to Wellness." The goal: to demystify the confusion around autism and to arm you with tools of practical protocols and new resources. After four days, you will leave the conference with a considerable head start down the road to wellness.

With an unprecedented conference format and presentations from some of the most respected experts in the international autism community, the USAAA conference is a can't-miss opportunity. Here's a sneak peek at just a few of the conference highlights:

• "Meet Temple Grandin's Mother - Coming to Terms with Expectations"
• "The 7 Keys to Unlock Autism"
• "The Doctors Who Treat Autism Spectrum Disorders"
• Panel workshops on advocacy, adjunct therapies, biomedical interventions, nutrition, support services, and more
