Join Anna Kennedy on this powerful episode as she interviews Ben Pearson, a remarkable serial entrepreneur who was diagnosed with autism at age 7 and overcame incredible challenges to build his inclusive clothing brand, Big Clothing For You. Ben’s raw and honest account of surviving 50-60 different care placements over seven years reveals the shocking failures in the social care system for autistic children in the past. Despite facing bullying, inappropriate placements, and a complete lack of understanding about autism, Ben transformed his experiences into entrepreneurial success, creating inclusive clothing and collaborating with Harvey Price on his Harvey’s Law collection. This episode also covers Anna’s upcoming 10-year anniversary autism dance day celebration, featuring Strictly’s Kristina Rihanoff, and highlights two inspiring new books by autism community members that are raising funds for charity.
