On the Penn National Autism Conference and limited Webcast
This is from a press release that I got today on the Penn State National Autism Conference July 30-August 3, in Pennsylvania. Not everyone can head out to Penn for 5 days, but it looks as if there will be online webcasts of some of the presentations available. See more info below.
Note: The links in the press release I received are incorrect/do not work/are not yet active. I corrected these in the post to active links that work right now.

The National Autism Conference will take place at The Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel July 30-August 3. However, due to high enrollment, some sessions may be held on the Penn State University Park campus.
From press release:
"...Scott Robertson, a 26-year-old Penn State Ph.D. student in information sciences and technology living with Asperger’s syndrome, will deliver the keynote address “Living on the Autism Spectrum: Experiences, Challenges and Growth.” Robertson said, “I greatly enjoy having the opportunity to share my thoughts and beliefs with people in the audience and hear about their own experiences and perspectives on adult living and autism.”
Robertson’s keynote is one of nine sessions being offered for free via a live Webcast through Penn State Public Broadcasting. A computer with Internet access and a Windows Media Player 9 or above is required to view the live Webcast.
