Keynote presentations:  
 
Life, Animated: A Tale of Autism & Hidden Potential
by Ron Suskind, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author
 
Ron's sixth book, "Life, Animated: A Story of Sidekicks,
Heroes, and Autism," Examines his family's 20-year struggle
with their youngest son Owen's autism. Having lost his speech at age 3, Owen seized upon a particular interest in the form of animated Disney movies, which helped him make sense of himself and the world. This deeply personal but universally resonant presentation is an adventure story of the human heart in which Ron shares stories of Owen's unique transformation from quiet solitude to animated communication.
