Forum Articles
The following essays were developed in prior years and were featured elsewhere on the ASAT web site. We reproduce them here as examples of the type of material that may appear from time to time on the Forum. Examples of possible future topics for the ASAT Forum may include: supported inclusion, respite care, adult services, social issues in adolescence, severe and challenging behaviors, chronicles of progress, large and small victories, the politics of autism advocacy - indeed any topic that explores the reality of living with autism in the world today.
