How can an interdisciplinary investigation into the lives of Black mothers raising autistic children in the UK encourage us to scrutinise systemic barriers and advocate for change? Drawing from personal experience of raising autistic children, as well as a hybridised theoretical framework of Black Feminisms, Critical Race Theory, and Critical Disability Studies, this pioneering text offers an unparalleled lens into the intersecting spheres of race, gender, and disability. Through individual testimonials, critical assessments of current practice, and actionable solutions, authors Claire Malcolm and Melissa Green compel readers to confront and dismantle the triad of oppression faced by these mothers. Amplifying and validating the often-marginalised voices of Black mothers of autistic children, this book is ideal reading for students of Gender Studies, Disability Studies, Black Studies, Special Educational Needs, Social Work, and Psychology, as well as policy makers and educational administrators.
