“Another busy show for September’s ‘All things Autism in Essex ‘ with Aston and I. Both Aston and I love dance, sparkle and BBC Strictly so we spent the first 10 minutes of the show talking about the new celebrities taking part and sharing our thoughts on how we feel they will progress.

“Our guests this month were my overseas charity Ambassador and founder of ‘Olivers Campaign’ Paula McGowan ,Philippa Spicer Regional Director of Health Education England and supporter of Olivers Campaign , Charity Ambassadors and artist Kieron Lee and Kellie Barker also founder of Born Anxious Clothing company.

“Paula spoke about the update of her campaign and shared she was in London meeting leaders who have the ability to make significant changes in health & social care outcomes for people who have a learning disability & autistic people. Phillippa has been working alongside Paula supporting the campaign. They are both pleased how the campaign is progressing since working together in their opinion collaboratively with neurodivergent communities is the way forward.

“Kieron shared how his single NYN and the album was progressing and was excited to hear his song aired on Gateway on Thursday. Kellie is collaborating with Kieron and the charity by creating the ‘Acronyms’ T-shirt available on https://www.bornanxious.co.uk/kieron-lee-acronyms-clothing/kieron-lee-acronyms-t-shirt/?fbclid=IwAR3DPcemfXtjEzzHnEVfg3x1_5MOx5hdprsyod2EiJp4i9yRu4iwv67S-GQ
