The number of children and adults being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders is increasing dramatically throughout the world. There is thus a desperate need for parents, family members, professionals, as well as people with autism, to be empowered with knowledge to optimise outcomes for all individuals with Autism.

Under the slogan "Autism, Understanding Diversity" (“AutismoS, Entendiendo la Diversidad” in Spanish), AETAPI want to highlight this year the protagonism of people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), the visualization and experience of their diversity, the enhancement of their abilities and strengths, as well as the role that It has society -which we have each and every one- in its inclusion as full citizens.
