Organizers are claiming the conference is the first in its area to focus specifically on issues related to adults with autism, including drug treatment, life expectancy, job training and family support. This story from the Toledo Blade introduces readers to some people who attend Bittersweet Farms while telling readers about the conference. Barb Yavorcik, president of the Autism Society of Ohio, tells the newspaper that it's often difficult for families to find facilities like Bittersweet Farms that cater to adults with autism.
The conference is set up for doctors, educators and support service providers, and includes a lineup of doctors speaking about autism in adults and reviewing some research about interventions for children and what that means when the kids grow up.
