Autism and Race Anthology || Indiegogo

We matter. We invite you to support us in amplifying the voices of autistic people of color.

Lydia Brown and Autism Women’s Network is raising money to produce an anthology on Race and Autism! Please check it out and consider donating- it should be a very valuable resource for the community, particularly for members of the community who are often over shadowed and under represented. 

From Lydia’s Facebook timeline:

Submissions will be due before the end of this year — stay tuned for more detailed information on how to submit. 

Submissions will be welcome from anyone who identifies as both autistic (self-identified regardless of formal diagnosis) and some kind of person of color, including indigenous and mixed-race people. 

Please consider sharing with your networks!

I am not of colour, personally, but I am signal boosting it in the hopes that someone who *is* will see this and want to participate! There isn’t much out there by autistic people (compared to parental and clinical accounts) and there’s even less from non-white sources, so let’s spread the details of this around to help change that and get this published.
