“On Autism” Six Poems read out aloud by Neurofantastic Poet CJ The Authoress

So this is the second podcast from September the 17.9.19 originally as the first one was great we decided to do arrange to do a second one and I think we do a third Podcast with the theme being based on mental Health as she suggested so she have written some more poems for that one with the wonderful Neurofantastic poet Christina King who goes by CJ as she likes to be called The Authoress in 6 parts as she tells 6 of her autistic poems based around her experience having got autism and ADHD as a mother with a son too with autism and we talk about them again not edited just very original, honest and raw. Also I got Andy Derbyshire the filmmaker to record the audio for us again which was great and we got lucky as we were able to record in Firstsite Art Gallery in Colchester in fact using one there meeting rooms. My favourite poem out of the six she had written and read out was called The Lost Girls which just has so much passionate, girl female, power, love to it so expressively beautiful in that sense as I felt most connected with it being girl myself I felt the connection to all the other girls who haven’t been diagnosed yet or were later on in life which is what happened to Christina so this poem is based on her experiencing that which from what she was telling me. Which you all will hear in this podcast. Overall it was really great again to listen to more of her poetry she is such creatively talented woman and I feel I have connected with her really well as we both have autism and both love being creative and we both have the Unfamailers art event connection in common which the fellow wonderful creative Gemma Abbott organises. Please I hope you enjoy guys more of Christina’s poetry again here with much love and appreciation. Thanks again.
