Fwd: Reminder: Liane Holliday Willey is online to answer your autism-related questions on May 20, 2013

www.awares.org/conferences

Just a reminder that Liane Holliday Willey will be online all day to answer your autism-related questions on Monday, May 20, 2013, from 1pm (UK time) - or 8am Eastern Standard Time in the US.

Please register right now at www.awares.org/conferences to read Liane's paper immediately and to join in the discussion forum next Monday. This online conference is open to everyone, so please let your friends, colleagues and networks know about this exciting event.

Dr Liane Holliday Willey, Ed.D. (www.aspie.com) is an inspirational speaker who helps her audience truly understand the importance of accepting people with differences. All her life, Liane knew she was different, but only after one of her family members was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome did Liane realize the reason behind her own differences; she too was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. Liane spends much of her time working with horses at the equestrian facility she owns. Dr Willey has authored several internationally best-selling books all published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers, including Pretending to be Normal: Living with Asperger Syndrome (foreword by Tony Attwood), Asperger Syndrome in Adolescence: Living with the Ups, the Downs, and Things in Between, and Asperger Syndrome in the Family: Redefining Normal and Safety Skills for Asperger Women: How to Save a Perfectly Good Female Life. Liane has contributed to many additional books and journals, and is currently the senior editor for Autism Spectrum Quarterly. In addition to her numerous interviews on national and international television and radio, Liane's life story was an inspiration for the film Normal Folk, currently in pre-production, and the feature film, Adam, as well as the focus of the video Asperger Syndrome: Crossing the Bridge with Dr Tony Attwood. Liane believes the Asperger's syndrome community is a wonderfully rich world that is populated by some of the most interesting and incredible individuals on the planet and she is exceptionally proud to be a part of it.

STEM CELL testimonials

I have found that the best information and least misleading information for any therapy or treatment comes
from the parents.  Certainly the most trustworthy.  Here is a website that has testimonials of parents who
have experienced stem cells for their special needs chidren, especially autism.  As Parents and
Grandparents, we have to depend on each other for factual information. Go to
