How we experience the world is different from allistics, but it can also be very different to white autistics. Even worse, how we are treated is different. We can (unfortunately) mask our autistic traits, but not all of us can mask our skin colour, our ethnicity or cultures.

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case. Many Black, Brown, Asian, or Indigenous people will experience microagressions in white spaces, deliberate or not. #OurStories #ActuallyAutistic #RaceEqualityWeek
