Highlight

In addition to 12 break-out sessions on a wide variety of topics and displays by more than 25 exhibitors, the conference featured special guest Jason McElwain, or J-Mac, a young man with Autism who was thrown into the spotlight while managing his high school’s varsity basketball team in Rochester, New York in 2006.  A video of Jason’s incredible performance on the court circulated on YouTube and he has been a guest on numerous talk shows and co-authored his memoir, “The Game of My Life: A True Story of Challenge, Triumph and Growing Up Autistic.” Many conference attendees had the opportunity to purchase Jason’s book and have it autographed.
