Autism Europe Aisbl

Autism-Europe aisbl is an international association whose main objective is to advance the rights of persons with autism and their families and to help them improve their quality of life.

Autism-Europe International Congresses

Every three or four years, Autism Europe organises an International Congress in cooperation with a member organisation. The International Congress aims at bringing together parents and professionals in order to share knowledge about state of the art findings in research and care for people with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The member organisation that organises the congress is elected by the Autism Europe General Assembly.

The next Congress will take place in Budapest (Hungary) in September 2013. It will be organised by the Hungarian Autistic Society on behalf of Autism-Europe. Please visit the congress website for more details.
