Looking for answers, validation, or support? Know that you don’t have to figure everything out alone. Take your time, explore, and find what resonates with you.
Take a look around, learn and embrace who you are.
Let’s get into it…
Ever felt like you experience the world differently but didn’t know why? Many Black autistic people go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. This page helps you explore self-diagnosis, with a culturally relevant checklist and resources to guide you.
Why is autism so often missed in Black communities? Why masking and code-switching leave you drained? Why rejection hits like a physical wound? This page answers “why” questions, breaking down the realities of being Black and autistic, from the aspects of Black community and Black culture.
Tools for Navigating Life, Your Way. Struggling with executive dysfunction? Burnout? Boundaries? These self-help articles offer real strategies for real life. No judgment, no fluff. Just practical advice to help you work with your brain, not against it.
Real stories. Real struggles. Real wins. Read personal stories and insights from Black autistic voices in our peer support blog… or share your own story 😊
Start where you are.
Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and know that you are not alone in this journey. ❤
