Could It Be Aspergers?

In this empowering lecture, Professor Tony Attwood discusses the defining characteristics of ’Aspies’ - people with Asperger’s Syndrome - and how these change from early childhood to the adult years and vary according to gender. Professor Attwood challenges you to imagine life through the eyes of an Aspie, and recognise the invaluable and unique contribution they make to society and intellectual development. ******************************************************************** Generation Next provides education and information about the prevention and management of mental illness in youth to professionals, young people and the wider community.
