ASAT is a not-for-prot organization of parents and professionals committed to improving the education, treatment, and care of people with

autism. Since autism was rst identied, there has been a long history of failed treatments and fads, levied on vulnerable individuals as well as on their families. From the scandal of the refrigerator mother theory, to the ongoing parade of miracle cures and magical breakthroughs, history has been dominated by improbable theories about causation and treatments. Since 1998, it has been our goal to work toward adopting higher standards of accountability for the care, education and treatment of all individuals with autism.
