Data on Black children with autism suggests that challenges still exist for families accessing diagnosis, autism services, and long-term care. Black children are diagnosed later than White peers, which translates into delayed autism services during key developmental periods.
Additionally, Black autistic children are also misdiagnosed at higher rates which also contributes to autism service delays. Black autism families often encounter challenges related to accessing culturally responsive services, navigating systemic barriers within healthcare and education systems, managing financial constraints, and addressing cultural misconceptions surrounding autism within their communities.
Autism services are particularly challenging to receive if families reside in service deserts, that is, geographic regions with few autism services or providers. These challenges can compound the stressors of Black autism families.
