Myths and Facts on Autism Spectrum Disorder:
Recent neuroscience findings and implications on training
Contents:Virtually all babies come into the world with powerful mechanisms for learning – including those who later are found to be autistic. What forces drive these children down a different developmental path? Despite nearly a hundred thousand scientific articles have been written, an air of mystery still surrounds autism. Prof. Wang will show a way to think about this enormous and sometimes confusing field. Points to be covered include:
  1. How the road to autism is launched by genes (usually neither parent is autistic)
  2. How news stories can trick us into seeing autism risks in the wrong places
  3. What the real risks are and how they may affect the brain’s biochemical signals
  4. Importance of a baby’s innate learning mechanisms for becoming a social creature
  5. What therapies help with autism, which are unproven – how to tell the difference
Speaker:Prof. Samuel Wang Princeton professor, Neuroscientist and author
Prof. Wang is best known to the public for the books “Welcome to Your Brain” and “Welcome to Your Child’s Brain”. His current research programme addresses learning and plasticity in the brain. He has a major interest in autism, a disorder in which the cerebellum has disrupted structure more often than any other brain region. He has been widely honoured for his advances in neuroscience and was selected by the American Association for the Advancement of Science as a Congressional Science and Engineering Fellow.
