The US Autism Association has always been able to bring in the world’s top experts because we firmly believe that to understand autism, we must draw from the expertise of those who are diagnosed. For this reason, the US Autism Association draws heavily from its Advisory Board, a majority of whom are either parents of those diagnosed or diagnosed as on the autism spectrum themselves.
