happy black history month
your neurodivergent employees of color are facing compounded barriers. And if we're not actively addressing it, we're perpetuating it.
Black History Month reminds us that we cannot talk about neurodiversity without talking about race. 🖤
Black autistic children are significantly more likely to be misdiagnosed with conduct disorders instead of autism.
Black ADHD adults face higher rates of criminalization for behaviors that, in white people, are called quirky or creative. this is a racism problem. to address this issue, we need organizations committed to genuine change, this means: examining who gets diagnosed, who gets accommodated, and who gets punished for the same behaviors.
training your leadership on how racism and ableism intersect. listening to multiply marginalized voices, not just the loudest or most palatable ones 🤎🖤✨
