I Wasn't Wrong, The System Was: A Journey the Numbers Don't Show
There's this idea that once you ask for help, things begin to fall into place... but that's not everyone's reality.
You speak up when you're supposed to.
You trust the professionals to do what's right.
But they don't.
Instead, you get labels that don't fit.
Explanations that fall short.
And a process thats supposed to help.. but somehow starts working against you.
In this episode, I'm breaking down what it really looked like navigating this as a Black mother. Misdiagnoses. Missed opportunities. And the reality that autism isn't always overlooked by accident. There are deeper, systemic reasons why Black and Brown children are often diagnosed with autism years later, if they're even diagnosed at all.
This is what happens when the system gets it wrong.
I’d love to hear from you!
