Expressing support for the designation of September 19, 2026, as "Black Autism Acceptance and Awareness Day".

HRES 1050 is a symbolic resolution designating September 19, 2026, as "Black Autism Acceptance and Awareness Day" to highlight racial disparities in autism care. It directly addresses Black autistic individuals and their families, who face higher rates of misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, underrepresentation in research, and healthcare dismissal. The resolution encourages nationwide awareness-raising, cultural competence in care, and advocacy for equitable resources across all life stages. It does not create new laws or funding but formally recognizes systemic inequities and calls for inclusion. The resolution focuses on acknowledging these disparities rather than prescribing policy changes.
