Summary

Designating September 19, 2025, as Black Autism Acceptance and Awareness Day would spotlight the specific barriers Black autistic people face and promote culturally competent acceptance and support. The resolution notes racial inequities in diagnosis and treatment, underrepresentation of Black autistic people in research, barriers to specialty care, higher rates of school discipline and law enforcement risks for Black autistic youth, and it encourages Americans to raise awareness, amplify Black autistic voices, promote inclusion, and advocate for justice and equitable resources across the lifespan.
