"#AutisticWhileBlack: Exploring Identity" Launches to Connect and Empower Black Autistic Adults
eTradeWire News/10777024
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - eTradeWire -- Autastic proudly announces the August 1st launch of "#AutisticWhileBlack: Exploring Identity". Each 6-week virtual experience connects and empowers Black adults, filling the services gap after learning they're autistic.
"There's been absolutely nothing out there for the millions of adults learning they're autistic in their twenties, thirties, fifties, and beyond. We're overlooked in research, in services and support, in policy, everywhere. I'm working to change that, starting with the Black community," says facilitator Diane J. Wright, the first Ford School Hawkins Family Disability Policy Fellow with the Center for Racial Justice at the University of Michigan and founder of Autastic.
Autastic provides resources and community to adult-identified autistic historically racialized and marginalized peoples (BIPOC). The "#AutisticWhileBlack: Exploring Identity" experience was developed in consultation with African American mental health professionals, community leaders, and input from Autastic's communities of over 15,000 late-identified autistic adults.

The program is supported by funding from Jimmy Kimmel and Mark Rober's 2021 "Color The Spectrum" fundraiser which raised over 3 million dollars in partnership with NEXT for AUTISM as well as support from The Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN).
Key Highlights:
"#AutisticWhileBlack: Exploring Identity" offers structured activities and 90-minute live virtual group sessions as well as a private conversation space for socializing and working through course material. Participants gain resources, peer connections, and new perspectives on autistic life, along with an action plan for rebuilding neurodivergence-centered lives.
