Content warning: Death of a pet, mentions of institutionalization and electroconvulsive treatment

Beatrice Leong is a Malaysian entrepreneur and documentary filmmaker. After a lifetime of mental health challenges and misdiagnoses, she was diagnosed as autistic at the age of 35, bringing clarity to her lifelong struggles.

Beatrice founded AIDA (Autism Inclusiveness Direct Action Group), an autistic-led advocacy group based in Asia that promotes inclusion and self-representation of the autistic community. She actively participates in shaping policies to improve the lives of autistic individuals.

During this episode, you will hear Beatrice talk about:

  • Filming a short commercial for Chinese New Year based on her struggles growing up as an autistic girl, and how girls and women from all backgrounds related to her story
  • What her life was like before she was diagnosed with autism
  • Struggling to find accurate information and support resources for autistic women in Malaysia, and how this inspired her advocacy work and activism
  • The power of bravely sharing your own story – and how she’s sharing her candid personal story in her feature film, The Myth of Monsters
