Coming soon to where you enjoy podcasts is a brand new podcast from the creator of Inside the Orange.

Rich thought Autism had entered his life when his son was diagnosed at 2, but following a journey of self discovery found out that he was autistic too. From being a fierce campaigner for Autistic People as an Advocate to having to navigate the change in thought as an Autistic person himself, Rich decided he wanted to talk about it and talk to amazing people who are both autistic and advocates of autistic people to help share positivity and understanding of autism.

Advocate to Autistic - Nath Trevett from Autism's Got Talent
play

11/04/23 • 40 min

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.

We are also delighted to remind you that auditions are now open for Autism's Got Talent 2024 and you can find out how to audition here: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.annakennedyonline.com/our-events/autisms-got-talent/⁠⁠⁠

Un Fel Chi I try my best to fit but I'm never good enough.

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.
