Thank You Adam F I shall sure look into that, as I have a great deal of respect for Baron-Cohen as it was his theories that lead me to discover I was in fact xxy which sometimes displays autistic like behaviour, where it is speculated it is not autism, but I have an AS diagnosis and I am totally aware of what an AS diagnosis can hide in terms of life threatening conditions particular to some xxy's.

Has AWARES folded? They don't appear to have run any conferences since 2014.
