We are thrilled to host this year’s meeting in Philadelphia and look forward to a vibrant three days of scientifi c presentation and dialogue. This year the Program Committee of IMFAR reviewed nearly 1000 abstracts from around the world and we will be hearing from 204 speakers in oral sessions and will review and discuss the work of 750 others in poster presentations. You will see the extraordinary breadth of research topics covered at the conference in this program booklet. Please note that there are also a number of Invited Educational Symposia on topics ranging from Neuro-Imaging Genetics to Future Approaches to the Psychophamacology of Autism. We have also scheduled six lunchtime special interest groups (SIGs) covering sleep, post-mortem brain research, EEG and MEG, school age intervention, motor action development and sensory dysfunction. We expect a rich and information-fi lled meeting and look forward to your feedback at its conclusion. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many individuals who contribute their time to both INSAR and to the organization of our annual meeting. The INSAR Board, the Scientifi c Program Committee and the countless abstract reviewers help make the meeting more successful each year. Welcome, once again, and we hope you enjoy every moment of IMFAR 2010! Jennifer Pinto-Martin, PhD, MPH David G. Amaral, Ph.D Welcome IMFAR Conference Chair President, INSAR 9th Annual International Meeting For Autism Research (IMFAR) 2010 1 President’s Address President’s Welcome Dear Friends: On behalf of the Board of Directors of INSAR, I’d like to welcome you to IMFAR 2010. We are all expecting a very exciting and informative meeting in Philadelphia. While the goal for IMFAR has always been the presentation, discussion and debate of the highest quality autism research, the success of previous meetings has allowed INSAR to take on new challenges. This year, the Program and Meeting Chairs along with the Board of Directors have made many new efforts to foster networking among the attendees. The number of Special Interest Group sessions has been increased to six and provide the context for individuals with similar interests, and those who desire to become involved in these areas, to meet and share expertise. The Diversity Committee has organized a luncheon sponsored by Autism Speaks to foster networking by individuals from developing countries as well as others involved in international autism research. This committee has also established a Family and Friends room as a respite for families attending with children. The Autism Science Foundation is sponsoring luncheons for its graduate student awardees and has also provided grants to a number of family members to attend IMFAR. While IMFAR is fi rst and foremost a scientifi c meeting, the Board feels strongly that every effort must be made to convey the latest scientifi c fi ndings to the greater autism community that has advocated for increased support for our research efforts. For the fi rst time, IMFAR was preceded by a one-day INSAR-supported meeting to benefi t the lay autism community of metropolitan Philadelphia. We hope to make this a permanent component of the annual IMFAR meeting. We have also established a Public Relations committee chaired by Alison Singer and Dana Marnane in order to provide a better interface between IMFAR and the media. Finally, we have reinstituted the reception following the awards ceremony to allow a little time for attendees to socialize. The IMFAR meeting is a work in progress and we expect to continue making changes to improve future meetings. Your feedback is important to us so I welcome your comments on what went right at IMFAR 2010 and what areas you think can be improved. Please watch for an online survey link that will be sent out following the meeting. For their incredible efforts in putting IMFAR 2010 together, I would like to thank Program Chairs David Mandell and Manny DiCicco-Bloom and Meeting Chairs, Jennifer Pinto-Martin and Susan Levy. Please enjoy IMFAR 2010. David G. Amaral, Ph.D. INSAR President 2 9th Annual International Meeting For Autism Research (IMFAR) 2010 Program IMFAR 2010 Scientifi c Program Dear IMFAR Attendees, We have instituted many exciting changes this year in the scientifi c program that we hope will enhance your experience.

One key reason for this absence is the the lack of availability of standardized screening and diagnostic tools (SDT) for autism in regional languages in India. To address this gap, we translated four widely-used SDT (Social Communication Disorder Checklist, Autism Spectrum Quotient, Social Communication Questionnaire, Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule) into Hindi and Bengali, two of the main regional languages (~360 million speakers) and tested their usability. We tested these translated instruments on 170 children with and without autism, and found that scores of children with autism were significantly and reliably different from those of control children.

ISNR. This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC-BY). KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS Harnessing Brain Plasticity: The Future of Neurotherapeutics Adam Gazzaley, MD, PhD Neuroscience Imaging Center and Neuroscape Lab Principal Investigator, Gazzaley Lab, University of California, San Francisco, California, USA A fundamental challenge of modern society is the development of effective approaches to enhance brain function and cognition in both healthy and impaired individuals. For the healthy, this serves as a core mission of our educational system and for the cognitively impaired this is a critical goal of our medical system. Unfortunately, there are serious and growing concerns about the ability of either system to meet this challenge. I will describe an approach developed in our lab that uses custom-designed video games to achieve meaningful and sustainable cognitive enhancement (e.g., Anguera et al., 2013), as well the next stage of our research program, which uses video games integrated with technological innovations in software (e.g., brain computer interface algorithms, Neurofeedback, GPU computing) and hardware (e.g., virtual reality headsets, mobile EEG, transcranial electrical brain stimulation) to create a novel personalized closed-loop system. I will share with you a vision of the future in which video games serve as an underlying engine to enhance our brain’s information processing systems, thus reducing our reliance on non-specific drugs to treat neurological and psychiatric conditions and allowing us to better target our educational efforts.

  • The Joy of Autism: Part 2
    However, even autistic individuals who are profoundly disabled eventually gain the ability to communicate effectively, and to learn, and to reason about their behaviour and about effective ways to exercise control over their environment, their unique individual aspects of autism that go beyond the physiology of autism and the source of the profound intrinsic disabilities will come to light. These aspects of autism involve how they think, how they feel, how they express their sensory preferences and aesthetic sensibilities, and how they experience the world around them. Those aspects of individuality must be accorded the same degree of respect and the same validity of meaning as they would be in a non autistic individual rather than be written off, as they all too often are, as the meaningless products of a monolithically bad affliction." Based on these extremes -- the disabling factors and atypical individuality, Phil says, they are more so disabling because society devalues the atypical aspects and fails to accommodate the disabling ones. That my friends, is what we are working towards -- a place where the group we seek to "help," we listen to. We do not get offended when we are corrected by the group. We are the parents. We have a duty to listen because one day, our children may be the same people correcting others tomorrow. In closing, about assumptions, I post the article written by Ann MacDonald a few days ago in the Seattle Post Intelligencer: By ANNE MCDONALD GUEST COLUMNIST Three years ago, a 6-year-old Seattle girl called Ashley, who had severe disabilities, was, at her parents' request, given a medical treatment called "growth attenuation" to prevent her growing.
