Autism 101

Autism 101

Autism 101 is a free 90-minute lecture that is offered quarterly and is designed to provide information and support to parents and families of children recently diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Lecturers provide up-to-date and evidence-based information regarding the core deficits of ASD, the variability and presentation of behaviors associated with autism, prevalence and etiology, treatments available, and resources for families. Each class includes time for questions. 

Classes are open to the general public. There is no need to register in advance to attend. Lectures are held at Seattle Children’s Hospital Main Campus in Wright Auditorium. Parking at Seattle Children's Main Campus is free in the Giraffe Lot for those who attend the lecture in person. Lectures are available through Children's video and teleconferencing outreach program. Video teleconferencing locations can be found in our our list of addresses and contact information.(PDF)
