When Autism College first started in 2013, Visiting Professors \u00a0gave free, interactive Q & A lectures on a predefined topic from our\u00a0virtual campus. Listeners who registered were\u00a0 able to send in their questions during the presentation. \u00a0Autism College provided those live lectures for free to anyone in the general public, streamed from our website.\u00a0 In the last two years, we have been busy with other projects.\u00a0 However, we may offer these again when time permits, so\u00a0 sign up for the Autism College newsletter to know when these are taking place.<\/p>\n
