Aston Avery alongside Anna Kennedy OBE presented October’s edition of All Things Autism In Essex special.
Aston and Anna spoke about what the charity AnnaKennedyOnline have been up to recently and also what they’ve got lined up for the rest of 2020.
Also on the show they were joined by two guests, both of them have performed at Anna’s annual event Autism’s Got Talent.
First off Aston spoke to magician Angus Baskerville to discuss about how he has coped during lockdown, how he first met Anna and also about some of his own magic tricks that he likes to use when performing.
Aston and Anna spoke to singer Lauren Lovejoy to discuss about how she has coped through lockdown, her time on the X Factor and also about her recent song writing.

Anna had this to say after the show:
“Another great ‘All things Autism in Essex ‘ on Gateway 97.8 with my Autism Ambassador Aston . We now are known as the Dynamic Duo! It was lovely to catch up and listen to Angus Baskerville and Lauren Lovejoy two of our past Autism’s got Talent performers. Angus and Lauren are two talented individuals and they spoke about their experience on our show and Life in Lockdown. Aston and I also gave a shout to the campaign Save out Theatres! The theatre is important to us as a charity for our wonderful Autism’s got Talent shows and Roadshows that we take across the country. This gives many opportunities and a springboard for our talented autistic performers. The autism community is also missing out on relaxed performances which allows families to experience the theatre without being judged and a freedom to move around within the theatre. Both Aston and I are looking forward to our next show on November 5th. On that note please Stay safe, Stay Strong and take it one day at a time. A virtual hug from me to you.”
All Things Autism In Essex will return on the 5th November.
