Laura Lum Corby is currently the Founder/CEO of the Autism Solution Center Foundation, Inc. in the Memphis, Tennessee area and the Vice President and Educational Director for FAIR Autism Media. She is the parent of two children affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders, as well as having an Autism Spectrum Disorder herself. She has a nine-year-old son who was diagnosed with full-blown autism at 18 months, and a fifteen-year-old daughter with multiple difficulties in the autism spectrum, including Asperger’s Syndrome. Both Ms. Corby and her children have been appropriately treated and are now considered recovered, and indistinguishable from their peers. Ms. Corby is currently working towards her Ph.D. in Psychology and plans to return to medical school when completed. Ms. Corby is now using her strong medical and marketing background to address the issues facing autism and those affected by it. She has spent the last five and a half years engaged in intensive biomedical, dietary and therapeutic research, as it relates to Autism Spectrum Disorders. Ms. Corby is actively involved in disability advocacy; (local, state and national) legislative issues and awareness; autism research, education and treatments; building community relationships and inclusion with those affected by autism and their families. She is actively involved as an advocate for her own children, as well as on behalf of others who are unable to advocate for themselves.
Her vision is to open a minimum of one NO COST autism treatment, education, assistance, and research facility in each of the 50 US states and abroad within other countries. AUTISM IS PREVENTABLE AND TREATABLE! All children should have access to the care necessary to provide them with an opportunity to live an independent and joyful life, regardless of ability to pay.
Ms. Corby is also a graduate of the Partner’s In Policy Making Leadership Institute, a division of the Tennessee Council on Developmental Disabilities. Ms. Corby is widely recognized as an autism/Asperger's expert and speaker at autism conferences and workshops across the nation in all related topics including, but not limited to, biomedical/dietary intervention, behavior modification, IDEA rights and advocacy, understanding Asperger's Syndrome, and others.
