Welcome to the Autism in Black Podcast, hosted by Maria Davis-Pierre, LMHC. In this episode Maria shares what has been happening in the year since receiving her autism diagnosis.

Throughout this season, Maria will be discussing all things autism and the Black parent experience, with the goal of educating, supporting, and empowering Black parents to advocate not only for their children but themselves as well.

Listeners can expect to hear from a variety of experts in the field, as well as personal stories from Black parents and personal stories from autistic individuals.  And don't forget to use the official hashtag for the podcast, #aibpod, when sharing your thoughts and feedback on social media.
