BIPOC autistic people, content creators, blogs, and pages!
Okay...
This post was one that I was unsure how to write. I'm white and I am very aware of my privilege.
I wanted today's post to highlight and center the voices of autistic BIPOC individuals and honestly, I couldn't just talk about a few. I wanted to put as many names out here for people to follow.
For those who want to follow and learn and for those who need to find these wonderful people in their community.
When researching and working on my list, I came across a post made by Autistic, Typing in 2019 as they had made a list of Autistic Black/ Indigenous/ People of Color & Latinx Advocates to follow.
So today's post is a link to this amazing individual's link, https://www.faceook.com/share/p/VMWG2wURiVWuTP2r/
This link contains all their hard work and emotional labour, a comments section FILLED with people adding others or themselves to the list, as well as a google doc form to add/ edit/ remove autistic creators. So please, if you are one, go fill it out and have yourself added to the list!
Below are some people/ creators/ pages that I thought should be mentioned. I tried to just add the ones I didn’t see listed, but I know there is overlap and tried to point those ones out.
And PLEASE send me any others! I want to follow as many as I can.

L’Afrique est confrontée à d’importants défis sanitaires. Alors que le continent supporte 22% de la charge mondiale de morbidité, il ne possède seulement que 3 % des personnels de santé dans le monde et moins de 1 % des ressources financières mondiales.
En outre, l'Afrique devrait avoir environ 374 millions de jeunes en âge de travailler d'ici 2030, et pourtant, ils représentent actuellement 60 % de la population au chômage du continent.
La technologie s'est révélée être l'outil le plus puissant pour conclure ces écarts en matière de santé et d'emploi.
