Spalding area's Callum Brazzo is looking ahead to a fruitful 2020




A fresh year brings fresh opportunities for growth and old roots.

Fresh opportunities for constructive conversations around autistic people in a multitude of ways including a returning project of mine from three years ago (details to follow in a later column)

Old roots from 2019 include following on from where we left off with our 100 Day Community Kit; "It is a direct autistic-led response to the extremely negative 100 Day Kit originally pushed by Autism Speaks, a cure-centric charity. Eight sections, 800 positives and helpful tips from your journeys in each."

My plan is to follow and contribute to the kit, which I hope to evolve as time goes on, via searching for it on Facebook.

As seen last week, I aim to develop a short film based around my novelette and am currently seeking people interested in helping me to realize this vision.

Anyone with an interest in film, media and acting can look at last week’s column but I will also post the blurb for the novelette on the Autistic Lincs Facebook page.

One only needs to see what Steph Genovese has done for our local area, bringing in local talent for the film ‘Dishonoured’ to know what is possible when we put our minds together.

Interestingly, I know of Steph from my days creating and nourishing a social enterprise called Spergy and it is within this time period that the original project from 2016 emerged.

So long stories short for now, this year is about the revival of old and the refreshment of new and exciting projects and narratives yet to be written.

Autistic Led, the autistic adult support group running out of Tonic Health from 4:30pm – 6:30pm, restarts this week (Thursday 9th January) and this organic by-product of my own journey, which has now become a collective journey of symbiotic pleasure, pain and progression as autistic adults in the community, will live on and continue to learn and thrive. Once more, details on the support group are on Facebook.

If anyone is out there and has something to discuss or has ideas on what to add to the Autistic Lincs column and Facebook page respectively, please get in touch.

I love to read about the readership and improve and connect!

Ciao for now!
