As the second part of our 3 podcast specials interviewing musicians and song writers, this shorter special feature interview, between Richie, Bobby Latheron and Anna Taylor from Autism Matters was recorded earlier this year for this special set of 3 podcasts. Bobby is a 29 year old Autistic young man, author, songwriter and campaigner, from the north east of England. Bobby has written and published his book called My World In My Words, about the hard journey he has had in life, coming to terms with bullying, sexuality and his neurodiversity. Bobby has experienced mental health issues (often overlooked like many health issues for those with Autism and learning differences) and uses creativity to support his recovery and healing, finding meaning and purpose in writing his book and writing songs. He is currently working with Karl Pemberton, of Journey south fame on this journey. He helps me with the music and putting it all together. He attended social groups at Autism Matters in Teesside where, people with Autism are supported, socialise and connect to establish a postive commmnity of support. 2 years ago sadly one of the members died, it was sudden and we where all shocked. I decided to write a song for him and dedicated it to Autism Matters. Here is the link to that song.
