Two presentations on autism, by one of the world’s leading authorities on the disorder, have been hailed a success.
Around 300 people heard Paul Shattock, vice-president of the World Autism Organisation and autism research unit director at the University of Sunderland.
The event was organised by Autism in Mann and sponsored by Barclays Wealth.
A new website - autism2008.co.uk – has been set-up, and will welcome articles relating to autism issues in the Isle of Man.
