Davis Neurodiversity Weekend: Autism

Designed for a worldwide audience across Europe, North America, Africa, Australia (East Coast), and New Zealand, this event bridges time zones — running UK evenings and Australasian mornings, so participants from every region can join live.

The opening session begins on Saturday 6 December at 5:45 pm GMT — that’s 6:45 pm in continental Europe, 7:45 pm in South Africa, 12:45 pm on the American Atlantic coast, 9:45 am on the American Pacific coast, 6:45 am Sunday in New Zealand, and 4:45 am in eastern Australia.

We know — for some of you, not all the sessions fall within waking hours. So you may wish to pre-order lifetime access to all session replays and enjoy the event on your own schedule.
