Welcome to the Black Autism Acceptance and Awareness Summit, founded by internationally recognized autistic advocate Ayanna Sanaa Davis. This groundbreaking virtual gathering centers Black autistic voices, lived experiences, leadership, identity, and joy. Join advocates, educators, families, professionals, and community leaders for honest conversations that challenge stigma, address systemic barriers, and move autism advocacy beyond awareness toward genuine acceptance, equity, and empowerment. Black autistic people deserve more than a place in the conversation—they deserve to lead it.

i can’t remember the last time i had a crush. apparently i have been too busy staring at flowers and talking to the moon.

i keep thinking about whale songs and the parts of the ocean we still do not understand. somewhere along the way, this essay became about what happens when we lose our relationship to listening.

sometimes autistic people do not understand how painful something was until long after it happened. this one arrived late.

I’m evolving Autastic in 2026 💪🏽. Your OG Autistic Auntie bushwhacked the damn path alongside the handful of advocates dedicated enough to autistic liberation to endure being spit-roasted in the ableist social media dumpster fire that was the early 2020’s to come back breathing flames. Now it’s time to clear the next road ahead. Autastic’s doors are unfurling as a platform for autistic advocates and individuals to come together in service of our Black, Indigenous, and all autistic people of color. No longer will you hear my voice alone—we are legion and we roll on #AutisticTime. Want in? DM. We will abide no social norm, no ableist standard, no metric nor measurement, nor a single well-meaning advice-giver coming in hot with their with ‘shoulds’. We done lived an entire life by y’all’s demands. It’s our turn now. Like it or don’t, we gonna do what we do. Get ready. Follow The Reframe from Autastic to ride with us. —DJW https://autasticreframe.substack.com/

We live in a country & society that is built on racism. The neurodivergent community isn't free of that racism—per Autistic advocate AJ Link.
