Hi, I’m Xav! I’m a 22-year-old autistic person, who’s struggled with hardships of mental health my whole life and has a huge passion for music and the arts!
When writing this song for YDAS, I wanted to focus on the hardships that I and many others dealt with growing up undiagnosed. It can make you feel like an outsider, that something is wrong with you.
I wondered if maybe writing this, others won’t feel as alone. It’s hard learning these things about yourselves in adulthood, but it’s good to embrace it! Accept yourself, even if others don’t.
