Dr. Amber Davis<\/a> discusses the intersection of race, disability, and autism as it pertains to diagnosis, care, and oppression. She notes autism-related disparities in access to care within the Black or African-American population and highlights the importance and potential impact of adopting an intersectional lens to autism understanding and care. Davis outlines her recent research on resilience factors, oppressive experiences, intersectionality, and culturally appropriate interventions. She asserts the need for more research specific to Black autistic children and adults and considers research implications before the Q&A.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
