About myself

I am the author of the acclaimed book, A History of Autism: Conversations with the Pioneers, published by Wiley-Blackwell in the UK and the USA in 2010. I give talks on autism around the world and broadcast regularly for the BBC.  (I am a keynote speaker, with Lorna Wing, at the National Autistic Society's Professional Conference in March 2011.
 
I am also the editor of two autism-related websites - the pioneering bilingual Awares (www.awares.org) and AutismConnect (www.autismconnect.org.uk), both run by Autism Cymru, Wales's national charity for autism -  and am the editor of the international autism newsletter, Looking Up (www.lookingupautism.org), which I founded in 1998.  The PDF version of Looking Up is now available in English, Russian,  Chinese, Hindi and Urdu, with more languages to come. 
 
I run the annual Awares international online autism conference (www.awares.org/conferences), the largest of its kind anywhere (more than sixty top experts and thousands of delegates online), which Professor Simon Baron-Cohen has called "the finest online conference on the planet."
