Guest: Becca Lory Hector reflects on how her late autism diagnosis at 36 transformed her life and deepened her commitment to advocacy amid today’s challenging political climate. She discusses the pervasive stigma and ableism that create barriers in professional and social spaces, and why inclusive environments are essential for genuine belonging.

Becca shares insights from her Self-Defined Living Course, designed to help autistic individuals reclaim their identities and create fulfilling lives beyond traditional measures of success and quality of life. She emphasizes the importance of community collaboration, leadership development, and prioritizing self-exploration for individuals newly diagnosed with neurodivergence.

This conversation is a vital resource for anyone seeking to embrace differences, overcome systemic bias, and thrive authentically in the autistic community.


Becca’s late diagnosis sparked a powerful journey of advocacy, identity, and authentic living.
