Jo Freitag’s “Gifted Resources” electronic newsletter (www.giftedresources.org/) guided us to Awares.org, the U.K. site of three yearly online conferences and dozens of papers on autism and Asperger’s. The papers from the 2005 and 2006 conferences are available free of charge. AWARES (All Wales Autism Resource) asks for a small donation (£6) through an online charity service to access conference materials from 2007 and future conferences. Check out the resources at www.awares.org/conferences.

National Public Radio programs sometimes feature Asperger’s or autism-related topics. For example, on November 5th, “Morning Edition” reported on research involving the stimulation of mirror neurons to treat autism. Mirror neurons are believed to be involved in imitation and empathy. Find the program and others on the topic at the NPR website.
