    S4: Conversation 11 || Autism and Intersectionality: How Healthcare Needs to Change for Black Neurodivergent Women

    Ayanna Sanaa Davis is widely known online as @PhenomenallyAutistic, and for good reason. She is an award-winning autism advocate, author, and the powerful voice behind the podcast Black Girl Diagnosed. Ayanna’s journey is deeply personal and profoundly important. She was misdiagnosed and medicated for bipolar disorder. This experience is unfortunately all too common for Black women and people of color. It wasn’t until a Dominican doctor took the time to truly listen and understand her experience that the correct diagnosis was finally made: Ayanna is autistic. Like so many others, she was late diagnosed and faced cultural barriers to acceptance. Her story not only sheds light on the intersection of race, gender, and neurodivergence—but also calls into question the systems that overlook and mislabel so many. We’ve invited Ayanna on to talk about a specific and powerful post she made about her experience getting a mammogram as an autistic woman. As neurotypical people, we were both moved and humbled by her words. For many, a mammogram is already an overwhelming and uncomfortable experience. But Ayanna’s post helped us realize how invisible and unspoken the added challenges can be for neurodivergent people navigating healthcare systems that weren’t designed with them in mind. Intersectionality is extremely important to discuss regarding healthcare. We need more people talking about their experiences and perspectives to make positive and permanent change. As we honor Breast Cancer Awareness, we believe it’s more important than ever to highlight voices like Ayanna’s that push us to expand our awareness, deepen our empathy, and include all experiences in conversations about health and wellness.
