This resolution expresses support for designating September 19, 2026, as "Black Autism Acceptance and Awareness Day," aiming to address significant racial inequities in the diagnosis, treatment, and societal experiences of Black autistic individuals. These individuals often face misdiagnosis, underrepresentation in research, and difficulty accessing culturally competent care. The day seeks to raise awareness about these disparities, promote understanding, acceptance, and inclusion, and advocate for justice and equity. It emphasizes amplifying the voices of Black autistic individuals and recognizes that true acceptance involves challenging biases, building community, and ensuring equitable access to resources and opportunities throughout their lives, celebrating neurological differences as natural variations.
