Infojunkie Report post Posted February 12, 2006 I am on the organising committee for Autscape and have been asked to post the following 'call for proposals'. If anyone has questions about Autscape I will happily answer if you post them here - but I will be away until Tuesday evening and won't be able to respond immediately. Infojunkie. PLEASE NOTE: The Autscape website is currently down but will be fixed within a week. Autscape 2006, Call for Proposals http://www.autscape.org/proposals/ Event date: Tues to Fri, 1-4 August , 2006 Location: Radstock, Somerset (near Bath) Submission deadline: April 7, 2006 Autscape is a combined retreat and conference organised for and run by autistic people. The second annual event will be held this summer in a peaceful rural retreat centre surrounded by extensive and picturesque grounds. We are now accepting proposals for seminars & workshops to be presented at Autscape 2006. This event is primarily for, not about, autistic people. Workshops geared towards parents and professionals may be accepted, but must be positive in their support for autistic people and their right to be different. In general we would like ideas for positive ways of living with autism and navigating an alien world. To get some idea of what we are looking for, please refer to last year's programme: http://www.autscape.org/programme/ We are also likely to enjoy similar workshops to those that have been presented at Autreat in the USA in the past. http://ani.autistics.org/past-workshops.htm We aim to both stimulate your interest and challenge your skills. We hope to change lives by empowering autistic people to live their own lives more effectively. If this interests you, please see our website for more information, detailed submission guidelines, or to submit your proposal online. http://www.autscape.org/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Infojunkie Report post Posted February 14, 2006 Hi Bid, Definite costs are not yet available, however we expect the cost to be somewhere between ?150 and ?300 per person. Sorry not to be more definite but it depends on the amount of funding we can attract. Infojunkie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Infojunkie Report post Posted February 17, 2006 The website at www.autscape.org is now up and running again. Autscape is likely to be of interest to autistic adults plus those of you with autistic children who are interested in positive approaches to living with (as opposed to curing) ASD.
