“Another busy ‘All things Autism in Essex ‘ with Aston for the month of September with our lovely guests Giuliana Wheater, Gary Webster and Maggie Paterson.

At the beginning of the show Aston and I couldn’t resist to talk ‘All things Strictly ‘ since we are huge fans.

Our first guest was Giuliana Wheater my charity Wellbeing Ambassador. We talked about the struggle of many autistic children and adults during these uncertain times with their Mental Health and Wellbeing . Giulian writes for our charity website sharing tips and advice. Her article for this week is on our charity website latest news page www.annakennedyonline.com

Our next guest was actor Gary Webster and one of our judges from the Autism Hero Awards 2023 talking about his experience and the tough challenge of choosing finalists from each category.”

“Our final guest is good friend to our charity and Principal of Pineapple Performing Arts Maggie Paterson. She spoke about supporting Autism’s got Talent for the last 12 years and on how it gives a platform to many talented autistic children and adults . Over the years Maggie has offered scholarships to some of our performers of which Aston was one and Callum Kirrage who now has a place this year at The Brit School. How amazing!!

We also played one of my charity Ambassadors Kieron Lee songs from his new album. Kieron has started back at University and shares with me that his song and album has received thousands of streams on spotify etc Amazing!!!!

Looking forward to being in the Gateway studio in October with feedback from our show and chatting to our guests.

Keep well everyone and sending positive vibes.

Much love

Anna Kennedy x”
