Autism And Black Children In America Being Diagnosed At A Higher Rate -- And Later - Than White Kids

April is Autism Awareness Month and we wanted to explore it as it relates to Black children in America in a brand new "REVOLT Black News Weekly." The condition is much more common among Black kids as compared to their white counterparts. The former tend to be diagnosed an average of 1 1/2 years later than white kids, which delays their appropriate treatment. Research also shows that Black children with intellectual disabilities often get misdiagnosed first and this further delays much-needed care. Why such a deep disparity? We explore now. Inspired by Sean “Diddy” Combs’ successful “State Of Emergency: The State of Black America & Coronavirus” town hall, “REVOLT BLACK NEWS” is a platform that is designed to report news from the perspective of Black people for Black people. “When I started REVOLT, I always wanted to develop a platform to report the news from our perspective, from our lens, from our people, so I decided to launch ’REVOLT BLACK NEWS,’” said Combs. “We’re here with solutions. We’ve already heard about what we can’t do, but this is what we can do.” Find REVOLT on TV here: https://revolt.tv/providers Stay connected with REVOLT here: Download our app for more exclusive content! iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/revolt-...
