Our story is a window into the historical points of view of race and disability in America and how those two identities shapes people lives.

 

Our subjects Black autistic individuals and families share their neurodivergent perspectives on a world not built for them and their fight for equality and change. Our main subjects are autistic advocates & activists, leaders, celebrities, and everyday people throughout the spectrum, from a variety of regions, backgrounds, ages, genders, abilities, and from across the life span.

 

Bookending our subjects' stories will be short commentaries and historical analysis from Black autistic researchers, mental health professionals, high-profile parents of young children with autism, profiles of historical figures, and other members of the African American autistic community.
