ARC events September 2006

The Autism Research Centre held a concert and art exhibition by people with autism spectrum conditions on 17th September. The exhibition featured work by Stephen Wiltshire, Peter Myers and Zoe Kakolyris among many other very talented artists. We were delighted that Jools Holland attended to host the concert and he also played a fantastic duet with Derek Paravicini. The evening was a success and very much enjoyed.

The First Cambridge Autism Research Conference was held the following day and was an opportunity for delegates to hear lectures and view posters summarising the latest research from the ARC.
