International Society for Autism Research News The International Society for Autism Research (INSAR) is a scientific and professional organization devoted to advancing knowledge about autism spectrum disorders. It is the parent organization that is responsible for running the annual International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR). Unfortunately, there continues to be some confusion about registering for INSAR membership and registering for the IMFAR meeting. These are two distinct processes with distinct benefits. INSAR's webpage (autism‐insar.org) should be used for (1) paying your annual membership dues (due by January 1 of each year), as well as (2) IMFAR registration (starting in January or February). Membership dues go toward supporting all of the Society's activities, and provide several important benefits, including: 1)Free online access to Autism Research (through autism‐insar.org) 2)IMFAR registration discounts (and in the future, possible preferential registration) 3)Ability to vote and run for elected office in INSAR (next elections to be in February 2011) 4)Ability to post advertisements on our website's Jobs Posting page.

Abstract

The International Society for Autism Research (INSAR) is a scientific and professional organization devoted to advancing knowledge about autism spectrum disorders. It is the parent organization that is responsible for running the annual International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR). Unfortunately, there continues to be some confusion about registering for INSAR membership and registering for the IMFAR meeting. These are two distinct processes with distinct benefits. INSAR's webpage (autism‐insar.org) should be used for (1) paying your annual membership dues (due by January 1 of each year), as well as (2) IMFAR registration (starting in January or February).
