Folusho Bello on Finding Confidence as an Autism Practitioner and Advocate

For many young people, the biggest barrier to making change isn't a lack of ideas or opportunities. Instead, it's the confidence to act on them. In this episode of Be the Change Podcast, Lily Mott sits down with autism practitioner, researcher, and #iwill Ambassador Folusho Bello to talk about how confidence has shaped her journey. Folusho shares how her early volunteer work sparked a passion, what it was like to deliver a keynote speech at the Council of Europe despite deeming herself "very shy," and the research she's conducted (and hopes to pursue further) into early brain-based markers of autism, with a particular focus on young women and girls of color, who are too often overlooked in existing research and diagnosis.
