Cure Autism Now social

Ironically, much like the people whom we seek to understand, the field of autism research itself suffers from a sort of weak central coherence. Our challenge is to unify a complex set of local observations into a coherent explanation of autism, to put all the pieces together into something that tells a complete story.

Your own work may contain a piece of this story. I urge you to listen to the data that you're going to see presented here, and to think about how autism may relate to what you're doing.

Autism's very complexity, its likely dependence on the interaction of normal developmental programmes with abnormal neural properties, makes it fascinating not only as a clinical disorder but also as a natural test case for theories of normal brain and cognitive development.

If at the end of this symposium you're curious to learn more, we invite you to come and speak with us in a more interactive setting at the Cure Autism Now social.

Cure Autism Now is one of the largest private funders of autism research, and we're always looking for new ideas that may move us more quickly to autism treatment and prevention.
