There’s limited research on the intersectionality between race, disability and gender, and how it amplifies stereotypical images of specific groups, especially for Black Autistic women.

Based on my personal experience, here are 3 ways that have helped me to navigate my 20s as an Autistic person.

As an Autistic person, sometimes my behaviours are interpreted as a ”red flags” to some neurotypical people. These are two examples of “red flags” that I’ve noticed over the years.

What is camouflaging, and how does it affect Autistic people’s mental health? Autistic camouflaging or masking is a coping strategy in response to trauma that leads to Autistic individuals participating in coping mechanisms to be undetected in a neurotypical world.

Is there a relationship between modern-day eugenics and the rising ableism in society? Let’s discuss the rising debate.

Not everyone belongs to one identity. Autism is only one example of the different identities held by people and intersectionality is a key theory that explains why this is.

1 in 5 Autistic people have alexithymia. Alexithymia refers to to having trouble with identifying, understanding and describing emotions.

Have you heard of ableism? Ableism is hard to spot as it’s widely socialised into our society. In this blog post, I will describe what ableism is, why it happens, ableism in action, and how we can tackle it.

I knew that stop and search is a significant problem within racialised communities, but I didn’t know that being Autistic further increased my chance of experiencing this.
