He became interested in autism’s impact on families upon meeting his wife the physician and medical school professor Ranit Mishori\, who grew up in Israel with a brother profoundly affected by autism. \nCaren Zucker is a journalist and television producer who has reported on a broad range of subjects both domestically and internationally.  Her oldest son Mickey’s autism diagnosis inspired a new direction in her reporting: to bring a better understanding of autism’s realities.  \nAs a team\, Donvan and Zucker have been collaborating on stories about autism since 2000. At ABC\, they created the pioneering series Echoes of Autism.  Their 2010 article in The Atlantic\, “Autism’s First Child\,” was shortlisted for the National Magazine Award and appeared in the paperback anthology Best Magazine Writing of 2011. Zucker also produced the series Autism Now for the PBS NewsHour. As two journalists with a personal connection to autism\, they aim to inspire acceptance of and support for people on the spectrum by telling their stories with honesty and compassion. \n  \nABOUT TEMPLE GRANDIN\, PH.D. \nDr. Grandin did not talk until she was three and a half years old\, communicating her frustration instead by screaming\, peeping\, and humming.  In 1950\, Temple was diagnosed with autism.  She tells her story in her book Emergence: Labeled Autistic. Dr. Grandin has become a prominent author and speaker on the subject of autism. \nEven though she was considered “weird” in her young school years\, she eventually found a mentor\, who recognized her interest and abilities.  She developed her talents into a successful career as a livestock-handling equipment designer consulting for firms and designing the facilities in which half the cattle are handled in the United States. \nTemple Grandin\, Ph.D. is now the most accomplished and well known adult with autism in the world. \nDr. Grandin presently works as a Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University.  \n  \nConference Information \nRooms have been reserved for the conference at the Sheraton Hotel and will be held until October 13\, 2016.  The hotel is located at 1800 50th St.\, West Des Moines\, IA.    Please call 515-223-1800 for assistance. \n  \nContinuing Education Units \n3.75 CEU’s will be offered for Speech Language Pathologists and Social Workers. \n  \nADA Accommodations \nIf ADA Accommodations are needed for you to attend the conference\, please contact the Autism Society of Iowa by October 1\, 2016. \n  \nAutism Annual Benefit Auction \nThe Annual Autism Benefit Auction will be held on Friday\, November 4\, 2016\, at 6:30 p.m. at the Sheraton Hotel.  Cost is $10.00 per person and you can pay at the door.  Everyone is welcome. \n
