World Autism Congress
Dear Pre Rain Man Autism Blog Readers and Friends,
Here is a copy of the official letter of acceptance from the World Autism Congress in Capetown South Africa for attending and presenting at their conference, in 2006.
I have responded that I will attend providing I can secure funding for the trip. This invitation has been a long time in the making and I will try to get there ,as well as, take along other people like me that also do autism very well. We don't have a statement to make but rather a point to be pondered and explained and expanded upon. Here is the copy of their correspondence.
I offer my sincere thanks to the World Autism Congress and their staff for reviewing and exploring our (high functiong) point of view. We will do our best to present at their conference.

NOTIFICATION REGARDING PAPER PROPOSAL
Dear Rich
Thank you most sincerely for submitting a proposed paper for the above congress.
Autism South Africa and the World Autismorganizationn were amazed and thrilled at the quantity and quality of the wonderful proposals submitted making the selection process extremely difficult.
3.1 We are pleased however, to inform you that your paper ÂBased on his book titled: Autism Pre Rain Man Autism was accepted for presentation.
As a speaker, you can register for the congress at a specially reduced fee of R1,500 (This covers the conference proceedings, refreshments and lunches on the congress days as well as the welcome cocktail party on the 30th October). Please note that this does not include the Gala Dinner, which is optional at an additional cost of R500 per person and that you will be responsible for your own travel and accommodation costs.
The financial aspect of this congress unfortunately does have to differ slightly from other congresses of this size in that this is an out-reach project deliberately aimed at assisting those in less fortunate situations and providing a helping hand to those from more disadvantaged backgrounds who are affected by autism. Hence we cannot invite speakers at no costs without pushing up the costs for other delegates to attend thus decreasing accessibility to an important sector of our target audience. We appeal for your understanding and support in this quest.
Will you please confirm your willingness to speak as soon as possible by completing the attached speaker form and returning it to me by email or fax no later than 20 February 2006.
We will advise all speakers of the final programme by end of March 2006 including dates and times of their presentations.
As Cape Town is now one of the top 6 of international tourist destinations in the world, it is advisable to book hotels and flights as soon as possible to ensure a booking.
Note that all accepted speakers will be required to provide by the following dates:
30 August 2006 Updated CV and abstract
30 August 2006 Fully written-up paper
30 September 2006 Copy of you presentation material (preferably in power point format)
Details of how to submit these will be sent to you in March 2006.
Thanking you for your cooperation,
Kind regards,
Natalie Smit, Congress Secretariat: SBS Conferences
