Asia Pacific Autism Conference

Wednesday 6 September to Saturday 9 September 2017

The Australian Advisory Board on Autism Spectrum Disorders (AAB-ASD), the convenor of the Asia Pacific Autism Conference, has appointed Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) to host the fifth Asia Pacific Autism Conference in 2017 (APAC 17) in Sydney at the International Convention Centre at Darling Harbour.

The conference theme is "Growing with Autism" and reflects the recent shift in autism research and practice to look beyond the early childhood and school years to the whole of life for people on the spectrum.

At APAC 17, people on the spectrum, family members, practitioners, researchers and policy makers will together explore how people on the spectrum of all ages, supported by their families and communities, can be the people they want to be.
