| Ignoring my opposing view being held as racism by none other than Mr. Plank himself, let me address some of your points: The majority of peoples in this world have been taught that their tribe, culture, social class, caste, home town, ethnicity, religion or clan is better than another. None of this... |

| Most Jews are perceived as white by other people until they see us enter or leave a temple, or we tell them we don't celebrate Christmas but are NOT Jehovah's Witnesses. (Interestingly, Witnesses are often called JWs in cyber shorthand, but I digress, as usual...) The other thing that "gives u... |

| I hope this thread can help to open some minds to the idea that being autistic and black can have it's own unique challenges just like being autistic and female or autistic and LGBT or autistic and physically disabled. The autistic narrative has been dominated by white male voices for too long and ... |

| Greetings to Everyone! For all on this forum choosing to be supportive, as I relate my personal experiences, thank you. For all those here choosing not to be supportive, thank you. You see, I have lived long enough to understand not everyone has learned empathy or cares about what another person exp... |

| I'm a sociologist. Race and gender are probably our two biggest categories in how we attempt to understand people, so we all get a lot of race theory. Some of it has literally made me ill. What you're saying is correct- there's no denying that. I have a couple of books in my basement that I dare an... |

| What a reasoned, hilarious and heartwarming response, ScoeyB! I'm a bit nerdy-wordy, too (diggin' that hyper- loquaciousness). I could chat with you for hours! Thank you, brother. It would be cool if more autism organizations, programs or advocacy missions sought out folks like me. I'm not angry. I'... |

| Do you think that black culture is supportive of the idea of being a black or POC autistic person? Do you think they have a mental frame of reference for this kind of person, or, like many people, is it just too convenient to picture a white male child when thinking of an "autistic person"... |

| I'm really pleased to be involved in attempting to make this a reality. I'm currently crunching the numbers and will be in charge of approving the musical talent for this project. It's gonna be better than talent show stuff. The acts will be better than the current professionals so many of us have b... |

| Paolo, I am pleased that the acknowledgement of our special "learning signature" (that's what our family calls it) by me can be of some help to others struggling to gain acceptance and credibility in life. My father is also on the spectrum and he's 73 years of age. I have also written a book not yet... |
