Black, Beautiful, and Autistic

by La Petite Doe

Let's talk about being Black, a Woman, and Autistic! As black women, we are already the minority, but when you are Autism, it is an extra level of being a minority. I want to discuss navigating life, getting a diagnosis, the challenges, and the positives of being autistic.

    Welcome! Here is the teaser for what's to come. I started this channel because there is a massive gap between black people and women in the Autistic world. We do have to navigate differently, even to our other autistic individuals. From getting diagnosed to the level of masking, we have to do to survive. We are true minorities, but hopefully, I can create a safe space for us to relate and share thoughts.
