IN HIS BOOK “CHALLENGING THE MYTHS OF AUTISM” (HARPER COLLINS, 2011), JONATHAN ALDERSON (HARVARD ED.M. 2001) LOOKS AT THE MOST PREVALENT FALLACIES ABOUT AUTISM, EXPLAINS HOW THEY DEVELOPED, EXAMINES WHY DISPELLING THEM MATTERS AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, SETS OUT A NEW UNDERSTANDING THAT WILL CHANGE THE WAY PARENTS AND PROFESSIONALS VIEW PEOPLE WITH AUTISM. USING MANY COMPELLING EXAMPLES FROM HIS OWN PRACTICE, ALDERSON CHARTS A WHOLE NEW REALM OF POSSIBILITIES FOR TREATMENT AND RESEARCH.

These events are seminar-like sessions with a question and answer session. We ask participants to bring their own “brown bag” lunch, enjoy a presentation by our speakers then engage in a question and answer session.
Please reserve a spot by sending an RSVP to Ada Maxwell: amaxwell@post.harvard.edu.
Although there is no charge for this event, contributions at the door always welcome.
