Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
H.Res. 752 is a symbolic resolution expressing congressional support for designating September 19, 2025, as "Black Autism Acceptance and Awareness Day." The resolution highlights significant racial disparities in autism diagnosis and care for Black Americans, noting that Black autistic individuals are more likely to be misdiagnosed, underdiagnosed, diagnosed late, and have difficulty accessing specialty care compared to other groups. It also addresses concerns that Black autistic youth face disproportionate school discipline and increased risks during law enforcement interactions. The resolution encourages Americans to use this designated day to raise awareness about these inequalities, promote acceptance and inclusion of Black autistic individuals, and advocate for culturally competent care and equitable access to resources. As a resolution rather than legislation, it carries no funding requirements or legal mandates—it simply expresses the House's position on the importance of recognizing and addressing the challenges faced by Black autistic individuals.
