ASA 2nd National Conference 2012 is the second event of this kind to take place in Australia with more than 500 people expected to participate. The three day National Conference will include an ASD services EXPO and will be held at the Bardon Conference Centre, 390 Simpsons Road, Bardon (Brisbane, Queensland) from Thursday 16th February to 18th February 2012. This event includes the International Asperger Day (Sat 18th Feb).

This year's theme "Living side by side, connecting with people on the Autism Spectrum" will provide a unique opportunity for presenters with an Autism Spectrum to have their voice heard, exchange their views, support, and share their experiences. 2012 will see a greater understanding of Autism Spectrum Condition, a better understanding of the unique skills and benefits that people on the Spectrum can bring to their community. It is only through continual improvement in awareness that people on the Spectrum can have greater access to services, care and support they want and need.

We would like to invite you to join us at this special event.
