Benison and I didn’t manage to get to the Australia Pacific Autism Conference this year, sadly.
Benison’s husband did go though and he presented a paper there. We must demand a guest post from him on what’s new in the world of autism research.
Parents want to know and they need to know too, don’t you think?
But what we can tell you is that a new society has been formed.
I’m going to join it. Will you?
The new Australiasian Society for Autism Research doesn’t have a website yet, but is calling for members to join now. It is really a society for academics and researchers, to share information and resources. Parents can join as associate members.

Membership fees will support a biennial national research meeting, in the year alternate to APAC, as well as a website, newsletter and admin costs etc
This Society has grown out of the previous Australasian Autism Research Collaboration. Click the picture below to have a look around their website.
I love to keep an eye on what is happening in Australian research. It makes me feel that things are moving along, that our children’s issues are being taken very seriously. And there’s often a need for families to take part in research too, so the more of us who know about it, the better.
You can print the application form after clicking the image below.
Has your family ever been part of a research project?
Will you join? Do you like to keep up with Aussie research?

I have the forms and plan to register both my husband and myself. This is an important initiative.
