While raising her son with autism, Dr. Paradiz was diagnosed at age 40 with Asperger syndrome. Since that time, she had developed and directed education and advocacy programs nationally and abroad. Her presentation features such subjects as: the purpose of research in autism and how families play a vital role, examples of evidence-based, multi-disciplinary approaches, insight into what it is like to participate in a study, navigating autism supports and resources in your community.
