This chapter aims to help readers, especially those outside of Black and brown communities, who continue to be primarily in positions to bring change to the wider Autism community, understand that being Black is not holding people who look like the author back from seeking diagnosis. The structures within Western communities, the accepted designs, and structures for living, have been, and continue to be, created to support the majority populations.
