Expressing support for the designation of September 19, 2026, as "Black Autism Acceptance and Awareness Day".

Sponsored By: Representative Lawler, Michael [R-NY-17]

Introduced

Summary

This resolution would designate September 19, 2026 as Black Autism Acceptance and Awareness Day. It urges Americans to raise awareness of racial inequities that leave Black autistic people more likely to be misdiagnosed, underdiagnosed, or diagnosed late, underrepresented in research, and to face greater barriers to specialty care, harsher school discipline, and higher risks in encounters with law enforcement, while promoting culturally competent care, lifelong supports, inclusion, and celebration of neurological differences.
