USAAA reaches out to people who want resources, guidance and support for autism spectrum disorders. We help you by consolidating and individualizing the overwhelming amount of information and resources.
One way this is achieved is through our conferences, where we focus on ways to improve the quality of life by conducting presentations in the areas of medical and educational interventions, research, diet and nutrition, and family issues. “Throughout our conferences, it is our hope that you'll find a balance of concepts and pragmatics, from current protocols to research, including medical, developmental, and behavioral realms, right down to tools that you can use immediately to begin or add to those needed for your journey." — Dr. Phillip C. DeMio, USAAA Chief Medical Officer.
We are also able to help you by providing a complimentary weekly email newsletter that addresses a wide range of topics on autism spectrum disorders. We feature up to date news, special offers, tips, and articles from our experts.

While there were over 700 attendees each day at the conference in St. Louis, Missouri, over 34,000 people viewed the event online. This was the first ever autism and Asperger conference to be streamed live in its entirety.
USAAA formed the US College Autism Project (US CAP) in August of 2010. USAAA, through the US CAP initiative, is creating an opportunity for individuals on the autism spectrum to have a successful college experience and to be prepared for post collegiate transitions.
