The following Autreat 2007 conference sessions will be open to remote participants over the Internet, via IRC (Internet relay chat). IRC is a public-domain chat service, much like AOL Instant Message or MSN Messenger. We will have a scribe at each of the following sessions, typing what is being said in the live session, and obtaining the floor to read comments and questions from Internet participants.
Tuesday 6/26, 2:00 pm US EDT (18:00 GMT) -
Discussion on the future of the pro-neurodiversity movement
Tuesday 6/26, 7:30 pm US EDT (23:30 GMT) -

outreach activities and autism-friendly parent/family support groups
