3. Why Autism?
In the Black and Latino community, mental health and mental disorders are stigmatized. People are unaware that in Autism there is a spectrum and you can have a range of low functioning to high functioning and in between members of this community. Not all disabilities are visible, therefore we should be educated on them, not cast them aside or away from society. We should be more inclusive and help the world become more accepting of each other.
