Abstract
This event features an in-person panel discussion with producer Jennifer Singh (School of History and Sociology), director John Thornton (School of Literature, Media, and Communication), and four parents who are featured in the documentary, moderated by Maitri Pathak. The documentary "Navigating Autism in Communities of Color" highlights caregiver experiences of obtaining a diagnosis, accessing services, and advocating for their children. Based on stories from six Black families and their children with autism, the film examines the unique struggles of navigating autism in a structurally unequal society and determination for equal access.
