CeFAR and Nancy Minshew

It appears that the work that CeFAR is doing (that's the Center for Excellence in Autism Research) getting a lot of things right. There's a ton of other presentation material available on their web page:

Much of this appears to be the work of Nancy Minshew. Here's a very interesting presentation entitled "How Does The Mind & Brain Think In Autism" that she gave in May of this year:

How good it is to get good news.

Hi Fiddlerpianist---that does sound very good. Earlier this year I had been looking around for some seminars that might be able to yield credit hours that I could use for me at my school. Since I teach the academically gifted, I was thinking about the possibility of taking some courses/seminars on autism since school children who have autism and are gifted are called twice-gifted. With the plans of summer vacation and other things, I sort of lost track of the seminars. I believe the CeFAR link to Bowling Green University in Ohio was one of the ones I was looking at. I wish somehow I could have gone to that---it sounded like something I could have used. I will have to keep an eye on these for future things in my area. But, the information you have linked here to their presentation material is wonderful. Thank you for posting this valuable information/material.
