"If their only images of what autism looks like are white, it can make them feel even more alienated. Even something as simple as when you're having autism awareness month in school, make sure not only highlighting Albert Einstein, but people like Stephen Wiltshire, or Questlove. Just show people who look like your student body, so they don't sort of attribute those strengths to whiteness, which can affect their self-esteem", says Alysia . Alysia joins this episode to discuss working as a speech language pathologist in a charter school and creating her spoken word poetry.
