Davis Neurodiversity Weekend: Autism

December 6-7, 2025 | Free live online event

Your child isn’t broken. Traditional approaches weren’t made for their mind.

Live attendance: FREE

Finally, answers that make sense

You’ve sat through countless meetings where professionals describe your child’s “deficits.” You’ve tried behavioral interventions that feel like forcing a square peg into a round hole. You’re exhausted from being told what your child can’t do.

What if we’ve been looking at autism all wrong?

Join families, educators, and professionals from 5 continents for a weekend that reframes everything. No deficit talk. No compliance training. Just breakthrough insights into how autistic minds actually work — and practical tools that honor that difference.

What you’ll Discover

Saturday, December 6

5:45 PM GMT – Opening & Welcome
Featuring a personal message from Ron Davis, whose own autistic experience led to these revolutionary approaches.

6:00 PM – The Neurodivergent Thread with Dolores Gage
Why your child’s meltdowns, confusion, and sensory overwhelm all stem from the same source — and why that source is also their greatest strength.

7:30 PM – Non-Speaking Autistic Individuals with Cathie Geraci
Your non-speaking child has a rich inner world. Learn how Davis methods help restore calm and unlock communication without forcing speech.

9:00 PM – Dummy: Ron’s Story with Richard Whitehead
Preview Ron Davis’s autobiography — from non-speaking and “unreachable” to developing methods that have helped thousands worldwide.

10:30 PM – Missing Concepts and Individuation with Melanie Curry
Why your child might not recognize themselves in the mirror, understand “you” and “me,” or grasp cause and effect — and how to build these foundations gently.

Real families. Real breakthroughs. Davis facilitators share stories of transformation and answer your specific questions live.

Why Davis Is Different

We Don’t Try to “Fix” Autism

Your child’s different perception isn’t wrong — it’s just different. Davis methods work with how autistic minds naturally function.

Created BY Autistic Experience

Ron Davis was non-speaking until age 17. These aren’t theories developed in labs — they’re insights from lived experience.

Concepts, Not Compliance

Instead of behavior modification, we build the missing conceptual foundations that make the world make sense.

Tools That Last

Families report continued growth years after learning Davis methods. The tools grow with your child.


What others are saying about the Davis Autism Approach®

“The program didn’t try to change who he is. It gave him tools to understand and embrace himself – and that has made all the difference.” Louise, Mother of program participant

“I see how the stronger sense of who I am has allowed me to say no to what isn’t for me and say yes to what makes me happy. I no longer have to be reacting to everything happening around me. I can be centered and decide what is for me and what is not for me. I choose to respond rather than react. It feels so freeing.” Leigh, program participant

“Sophia was a frightened, fearful child who was withdrawn and living inside of herself. Since completing the program two years ago, she has become a typical young girl. She is two cycles away from completing her black belt in Taekwondo. She wants to work for Lucas films as an animator one day. Our lives are now ‘normal’ – we laugh as a family, we cry as a family, we encourage one another, we strengthen one another. We hadn’t experienced that before.” Mary, Mother of program participant

“I can’t believe how life-changing these concepts are. I use them all of the time in my life now – it is just so easy to take responsibility for things that had always seemed impossible before.” This person wished to remain anonymous


Common questions

Q: Is this for parents only?
A: While designed with parents in mind, educators, therapists, and autistic individuals would all benefit from these insights.

Q: My child was just diagnosed. Is this too advanced?
A: Perfect timing. Understanding the Davis perspective early saves years of inappropriate interventions.

Q: My child is an adult. Is it too late?
A: Never. Davis methods work across all ages. Many adults discover themselves through these concepts.

Q: What if I can only attend some sessions?
A: Register anyway. Each session stands alone with valuable insights. Recordings available for what you miss for only £12.99.

Q: How is this different from other autism seminars?
A: We don’t talk about deficits, disorders, or “fixing.” We explore how autistic perception works and how to support it.


A Personal Note from the Organizers

Every day, we see families exhausted from approaches that don’t work. Parents blamed for their child’s struggles. Children forced into boxes that don’t fit.

This weekend is different. It’s about understanding, not changing. Supporting, not suppressing. Hope based on real success, not false promises.

Your child’s autism isn’t a tragedy to overcome. It’s a different way of experiencing the world — one that includes incredible gifts alongside real challenges.

Join us to discover what becomes possible when we stop trying to “fix” and start trying to understand.

Organized By:

Davis UK & Ireland in partnership with Davis Autism International
