Happy Autism Acceptance Month! At long last, we’re proud to introduce two new policy briefs: Autism, Race, and Employment (by Finn Gardiner, Lydia X. Z. Brown, and Mira Bhattacharya) and Autism, Race, and Mental Health (by Finn Gardiner, Lydia X. Z. Brown, and Natalia Rivera Morales). We hope both these reports will help advocates, policymakers, and researchers understand the complex, often-fraught relationship that autistic people of color have with mental health and employment—and lead to substantive policy changes that improve our social and occupational well-being.
