Your unique opportunity to learn how to improve the lives of people with autism, while at the same time making connections within the community of people who share your aspiration.  

Top researchers, medical doctors and therapists will present on novel approaches and most promising research.

Delegates will hear about current treatment trials, and learn about the importance of recognising and addressing co-occurring or underlying health issues in autism.

More than 20 presentations

Three days of learning, with over 20 presentations. Highlights include:

Adi Aran MD, Annabelle Manalo MD PhD, and Orit Stollar MD will present on current research into medicinal cannabis for autism, and the endocannabinoid system and its regulation of learning and memory, sociability and emotional states, motivation, epilepsy and other processes that are often altered in autism.

Federico Balzola MD will present on the topic of gastrointestinal problems in autism, and how to predict if a child is likely to benefit from a gluten-free diet. Iwona Zarnowska MD PhD will talk about ketogenic diet in epilepsy and autism, and a novel way of identifying likely responders.

Richard Frye MD PhD will discuss metabolic dysfunction in autism, including disorders of redox, methylation, and folate metabolism. Studies have documented improvement in autism symptoms with many of these treatments in clinical studies.

Practical steps for parents

There are safe, practical steps that parents can implement at home. Using the scientific evidence available, Amy Herhily MD will discuss helpful dietary adjustments, help match symptoms with nutritional supplements and discuss health.

Leaving the talk, delegates should be equipped with a framework of where to begin and what to do.
