Why Black Fathers Matter in the Autism Conversation
💬 "I knew right there and then, this is the direction we're going to have to go, especially if I want Autism in Black to be the greatest. If I want Autism in Black to go to the next level, I know that I'm not going to be able to do it with only focus being on women.”
⚡ In this episode, I share with you my awesome experience at the fifth annual Autism in Black Conference—our first in-person conference after years of doing it virtually. Here, I reflect on why Black fathers’ voices and experiences matter and why it should be talked about in the autism community.
