Autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. While it can affect children of all races, African American and Latin X children, as compared to their white counterparts, are more likely to be diagnosed as engaging in "bad behavior" than having ASD. The ASD diagnosis usually comes at a later age, and prevents Black and Brown children from early intervention and receiving the help they need.
