Collaborative decision-making and dispelling myths about black neurodiversity

When raising a child who is living with the intersectionality of being both Black and neurodivergent—having a diagnosis of dyslexia, autism or ADHD, for instance—it can be hard to discern whether the barriers to physical and social access are due to race or to neurodivergence. In this episode, Dr. Nanika Coor talks with psychiatrist Dr. Loucresie Rupert to give parents tips for dealing with the institutional racism and disability bias they may run into when seeking affirming care for their children.
