In this weeks episode, we will be continuing our Autism's Got Talent specials with an interview with another one of the performers, Nath Trevett.

Nath wrote and performed his own song, Un Fel Chi (One Like You), and we discussed this, his performance at Autism's Got Talent and his autism advocacy work. The song Un Fel Chi, is at the end of the episode, if you want to follow the song in English, the lyrics follow.

Un Fel Chi

You judge music by looks, you exploit a thing that way.

There's a horizon in every corner but everyone chooses one.

It's all the same old story, just a completely different picture.

I have no wings nor the ability to fly.

I'm not agile but I'm still standing up.

Looks and ability: this is a complete difference.

Why has everyone painted the whole world black and white?
Chorus

I've stood for innocence

I've stood for the truth

and I still can't believe

that it takes a long time.

What is it exactly that's stopping you

from letting me join in the fun?

I do things differently

but I'm still one,

still one like you.

You're busy with your entertainment.

You do nothing but keep score.

No one drives controls here.

Only you are your jury.

Too much dependence and your assumptions narrow you down.

Will you ever learn to understand the much wider picture?

Middle 8
Look around. Now look to me.

In this weeks episode, Rich talks growing up as an undiagnosed autistic child/adult and what it was like growing up making friends, masking to fit in and how he had to consider his own authenticity in later life to decide whether to keep having the same friendship behaviours and barriers or whether it was time to show his friends his authentic self. Both masking and his authentic self have been challenging to make friends in the past, but his diagnosis has helped him understand and work with this.

In this weeks episode, Rich talks about focus or hyper focus. Since he was young, Rich has been able to spend hours upon hours researching, reading and creating a million spreadsheets to document his interests and beyond. Today, Rich is telling how this has been in his life and how it affects his diet, his hobbies and interests and even how he plans his Christmas. Do you have a focus or hyper focus on any subjects or what you can fixate on for a while? If this sounds familiar, listen to this episode or even get in touch and discuss your focus/hyperfocus. We'd love to hear from you.
