1️⃣ Black experiences are constantly redirected. Every time we try to discuss how Black autistic people experience misdiagnosis, masking, or medical neglect, someone jumps in with “Well, all girls struggle with this.” But we aren’t all struggling in the same way. Let’s talk about it. 🧵👇🏾
Show Post2️⃣ Yes, girls are underdiagnosed—but add medical racism, cultural barriers, and socioeconomic factors, and the further someone is from the default of a white, middle-class autistic boy, the harder it becomes to access recognition and support. #audhd #autism
Show Post3️⃣ The system wasn’t built to recognize autism in Black children. Research has focused on white boys for decades, which means diagnostic criteria don’t reflect how autism presents in Black, Indigenous, and other racialized groups.
Show Post4️⃣ For Black autistics, the barriers to diagnosis aren’t just gender-based they’re rooted in racism, classism, & cultural stigma. 📍 Black autistic kids are more likely to be labeled “defiant” instead of supported. 📍 Black autistic adults are less likely to be believed by medical professionals.
Show Post📍 Black communities often lack access to early diagnosis & accommodations. 5️⃣ This is why centering Black autistic experiences is necessary. Saying “all girls struggle” ignores the fact that not all struggles are created equal.
