"Oh don't hang around Emma you might get Autism"

Emma Tomlinson, an independent artist and professional musician, shares her experience as an Autistic person and speaks with Dylan Alcott and Angus O'Loughlin about how music has been a powerful tool for communication and self-expression. She discusses her journey from being selectively mute as a child to finding her voice through Opera and the performing arts.

She even shares that art with us in the episode!

Emma emphasises the importance of representation and breaking down stereotypes surrounding her neurodiversity, sharing her lived experience of the 'Autism Spectrum'. She also highlights the challenges faced by autistic individuals in the performing arts industry and the need for more inclusivity and support. Emma's music, particularly her song 'Electric Blue,' reflects her experiences as and aims to empower others.
