What is the focus of today’s episode on autistic women and healthcare equity?
Welcome to today's Autistic Moment, a podcast for autistic adults. I an autistic adult. My name is Philip King Lowe. I am the owner, producer, and host, and I am an autistic adult. Thank you so very much for listening. In 2022, the World Health Organization reported That while some progress has been made for disabled people to receive health care equities, the world is far from realizing this as a basic human right. Many disabled people continue to die early, have poorer health, and experience more limitations than others. Latoya Hinton is a very good thing. is my guest speaker who will talk about the healthcare equities that autistic women are not getting due to lack of access to getting a diagnosis and how it can affect their mental health.
Come join us as we discuss autistic women thriving in healthcare equities on today's autistic moment.

I want to clarify some things about what we are doing with Autistic Advocacy Month. The Autistic Community and our allies have all contributed to making April as Autism Acceptance Month, which has helped us build a fantastic infrastructure. We know that many people are still going to celebrate April as Autism Acceptance Month, and we encourage those who will be to do that.
There are many autistic people who have their issues with Autism Acceptance Month who feel that while acceptance is an important step, it is no longer enough. The actions of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last April and ever since regarding autism seems to be aimed at undoing all the work we have done. to make Autism Acceptance Month what it is. We are beginning to name April as Autistic Advocacy Month to make the voices of autistic people heard loud and clear that we will advocate for keeping our infrastructure and strengthen it. Autistic Advocacy Month is being introduced in April to tell people to listen to us, include us, and change the systems that harm us. What the current administration is seeking to do is to invalidate our voices, make us appear too incompetent to be heard and taken seriously, as if autistic people deserve to be stigmatized.
Autistic Advocacy Month is our line in the sand that says no, you will not destroy our dignity.
