Autreat 2007 on the Internet!
The following Autreat 2007 conference sessions will be open to remote
participants over the Internet, via IRC (Internet relay chat). IRC is a
public-domain chat service, much like AOL Instant Message or MSN Messenger. We
will have a scribe at each of the following sessions, typing what is being said
in the live session, and obtaining the floor to read comments and questions
from Internet participants.

Discussion on the future of the pro-neurodiversity movement
Tuesday 6/26, 7:30 pm US EDT (23:30 GMT) -
