Another reason we need better understanding and empathy for autistics, esp. PoC: “To be a Black autistic male means that one's sense of childhood is cut short, & the need to be hyper-aware of your surroundings to avoid violence and abuse is frequent.” From @kalaomeiza.bsky.social’s Autistic & Black

"The research community needs to listen to autistic women and girls, not just study them."

-Kiera Adams

Black autistic individuals are largely left out of media representation.

I hope Autistic and Black is among the first of many pieces of literature to include our stories from around the world.

Below are the demographics of those featured in the book🎉:

Intersectional discussions are crucial for the progress of our community🙌🏿
