Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to interview my friend Jackie about her life! Some of the specific topics we discussed were realizing that she was autistic later in life, parenting and encouraging self-advocacy in her child who is autistic and has intellectual disabilities, and vulnerability in Black autistic women.
