We are here for Racialised Autistics in Scotland
We are proud to introduce Scottish Ethnic Minority Autistics CIC. We stand in solidarity with Scottish Black, Brown and Minority Ethnic Autistics – a group who experience multiple marginalisation yet are routinely overlooked. Although we have faced struggles, we exist so that other racialised autistics do not face the same struggles.
