10:11Now PlayingApril is World Autism Awareness Month during which the goal is to promote awareness, acceptance and support for those on the autism spectrum and their families.
In the United States, autism disproportionately affects Black children yet Black and Hispanic children continue to be less likely to be identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD, than white children.
These differences suggest that Black and Hispanic children may face socioeconomic or other barriers that lead to a lack of or delayed access to evaluation, diagnosis, and services.
Even after diagnosis, parents are often overwhelmed trying to navigate the maze of the education system in order to do what is best for their children. Education Law Attorney Denise Nance Pierce who is an expert in the field of autism spoke with #RolandMartinUnfiltered guest host Monique Pressley about how parents can navigate the world after an autism diagnosis and advocate for their child.
