What's the Problem with Other Conferences?
Missing the Mark
While there are many conferences that address autism and related topics, few truly focus on the unique challenges and experiences of the Black autism community. Most conferences miss the mark when it comes to understanding the intersectionality of race and disability, often leaving out culturally responsive support, resources, and perspectives.
At the Autism in Black Conference, we don’t just talk about autism—we talk about Black autism, honoring the nuances, strengths, and challenges that come with it. Our goal is to provide a space where Black autistic individuals and their families can find the support they need, connect with others who share similar experiences, and access resources designed with their unique needs in mind.
We’re here to fill the gap that other conferences leave behind, offering a platform that prioritizes cultural awareness, empathy, and empowerment. This is the space where Black autistic voices are amplified, not overlooked.
The Problem: Marginalization of Black Voices
Moreover, many conferences fail to provide a platform for Black neurodivergent individuals to share their lived experiences and expertise. This omission not only perpetuates the marginalization of Black voices within the autism community but also hinders meaningful progress toward inclusivity and equity.
At the Autism in Black Conference, we make it a priority to center Black autistic individuals in every aspect of our programming. Our sessions are led by those with firsthand knowledge of the unique challenges and triumphs of being both Black and neurodivergent. By amplifying these voices, we ensure that the conversation remains rooted in authenticity, creating a more inclusive and equitable environment for all attendees.
This is your chance to hear from the real experts—Black neurodivergent individuals who are rewriting the narrative and leading the way toward a more inclusive future for the autism community.
Filling the Gap: A Conference by and for the Black Autism Community
At Autism in Black®, we recognize the shortcomings of mainstream autism conferences and are committed to filling the gap. Our conference is designed by and for the Black autism community, with a focus on our unique needs, experiences, and aspirations. We create a space where Black autistic individuals, families, professionals, and advocates can come together to learn, share, and empower one another.
This isn’t just another conference. It’s a movement—one that honors and celebrates the richness of Black autistic voices, providing opportunities for deep connection, authentic learning, and transformative change.
Join us as we build a community of support, knowledge, and inspiration to help us thrive together.
