16, 2016 New Orleans, LA 47th Annual National Conference and Exposition July 13 - 16, 2016 New Orleans, LA Welcome! I want to welcome you to our 47th Annual Autism Society of America Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana! This year, our conference will continue our long standing effort enabling affiliate leaders, professionals in the autism field, family members, individuals with an autism diagnosis, and others to join together for learning, networking, and celebration. As we learn and listen to each other in the beautiful and historic city of New Orleans, I am so appreciative of the work that each of you does every day to help each person living with autism to achieve the highest quality of life possible. During this conference you will hear from five outstanding keynote speakers, all who will challenge our way we go about our daily lives, teach us new ways to help all impacted by autism, and allow us to leave New Orleans on Saturday energized by our conference experience. This year, we have a huge variety of breakout sessions that were chosen to help you learn more about lifespan issues impacting those with an autism diagnosis. Our keynotes each day are exceptional - starting with John Donvan and Caren Zucker sharing the history of autism, Alycia Halladay and research in the last five years, our own Dr. Jim Ball sharing his professional expertise, and please do all you can to be at our closing session where we will conclude our conference with an important and wonderful panel of autistic individuals discussing among other topics, autism contributions to the world and the culture of autism 2016. The panel will be facilitated by our Saturday keynote speaker, Steve Silberman. I am also proud that our Annual Conference is so inclusive of all within the autism community and especially autistic individuals. Please be mindful of the sensory related issues impacting all of our friends and family members who have autism. As we do with each conference, we have again worked with the venue staff to limit the sensory related issues at this conference venue. The planning for this years’ conference began the day we all left Denver where we held our 46th Annual Conference. Next year, our conference will be from July 12th to July 15th in the great city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Finally, I want to thank your generous sponsors, exhibitors, and each of you for being here these four days with us.

    Gesnerus 77/2 (2020) 279–311, DOI: 10.24894/Gesn-de.2020.77012 Vom «autistischen Psychopathen» zum Autismusspektrum. Verhaltensdiagnostik und Persönlichkeitsbehauptung in der Geschichte des Autismus Rüdiger Graf Abstract Der Aufsatz untersucht das Verhältnis von Persönlichkeit und Verhalten in der Defi nition und Diagnostik des Autismus von Kanner und Asperger in den 1940er Jahren bis in die neueren Ausgaben des DSM und ICD. Dazu unter- scheidet er drei verschiedene epistemische Zugänge zum Autismus: ein exter- nes Wissen der dritten Person, das über Verhaltensbeobachtungen, Testver- fahren und Elterninterviews gewonnen wird; ein stärker praktisches Wissen der zweiten Person, das in der andauernden, alltäglichen Interaktion bei El- tern und Betreuer*innen entsteht, und schließlich das introspektive Wissen der ersten Person, d.h. der Autist*innen selbst. Dabei resultiert die Kerndif- ferenz in der Behandlung des Autismus daraus, ob man meint, die Persönlich- keit eines Menschen allein über die Beobachtung von Verhaltensweisen er- schließen zu können oder ob es sich um eine vorgängige Struktur handelt, die introspektiv zugänglich ist, Verhalten prägt und ihm Sinn verleihen kann. Die Entscheidung hierüber führt zu grundlegend anderen Positionierungen zu verhaltenstherapeutischen Ansätzen, wie insbesondere zu Ole Ivar Lovaas’ Applied Behavior Analysis.

Going back to the earliest autism research and chronicling the brave and lonely journey of autistic people and their families through the decades, Silberman provides long-sought solutions to the autism puzzle, while mapping out a path towards a more humane world in which people with learning differences have access to the resources they need to live happier and more meaningful lives.

Specifically for adults, this can have a negative effect on relationships and vocational stability. However, there is a lack of effective intervention for adults with ASD to assist in learning these social conventions. Video modeling is an intervention that has potential to help these individuals learn to be successful in social problem-solving situations.

We summarize the events leading up to the inclusion of autism as a “new” ofcial diagnostic category in DSM-III, the subsequent revisions of the DSM, and the impact of the ofcial recognition of autism on research. We discuss the uses of categorical vs. dimensional approaches and the continuing tensions around broad vs. narrow views of autism.
