Autism Care UK is hosting a FREE conference to promote a better quality of life for adults with autism. The event will take place between 9.30am and 4pm on Tuesday 4 December 2007 at the Brooklands Hotel in Barnsley.

Three guest speakers will provide presentations during the day:

• Dr Rita Jordan, the keynote speaker and Professor in Autism Studies at the University of Birmingham, will discuss general issues faced by adults with autism as they approach everyday life.
• Luke Beardon, Senior Lecturer at Autism Studies at Sheffield Hallam University, will talk about sensory issues connected with a better quality of life.
• Chris Mitchell will give a personal account of living with ASD (he was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome at the age of 20, while studying at university).

Delegates will also have the opportunity to talk with key members of the team at Autism Care UK about its new residential facility, Rother Heights, which is opening in South Yorkshire in February 2008.
