HRES 752 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of September 19, 2025, as "Black Autism Acceptance and Awareness Day".

This resolution symbolically designates September 19, 2025, as "Black Autism Acceptance and Awareness Day" to highlight racial disparities in autism diagnosis and care. It directly addresses Black autistic individuals and their families, who face higher rates of misdiagnosis, late diagnosis, and barriers to healthcare access compared to other groups. The resolution encourages Americans to raise awareness about these inequities, promote inclusion, and advocate for culturally competent care and resources. It emphasizes that true acceptance requires addressing systemic biases and supporting Black autistic people throughout their lives. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or funding but aims to foster greater recognition of these issues.
