Not Your Typical Autism Curriculum

welcome to the education hub

Autistic Black girls, women, and female socialized individuals have long been excluded from the conversation, both in classrooms and in curricula. The information that does exist often centers whiteness, pathologizes difference, and ignores how race, culture, gender, and neurodivergence intersect in real life.

We're taught to doubt ourselves before we're ever taught to understand ourselves. We're labeled as disruptive instead of curious, defiant instead of divergent, and rarely offered the tools to thrive on our own terms.

The Education Hub exists to change that. This is a space for learning, unlearning, and relearning through the lens of lived experience, cultural truth, and unapologetic neurodivergence. Whether you're just starting your journey or deep in your healing and self-knowledge, you belong here.

Make it stand out

  • We provide free educational resources designed to expand understanding, dismantle stereotypes, and correct the many widespread misconceptions about what it means to be autistic. These materials center real lived experiences and empower people to approach autism with greater empathy and accuracy, especially for those of us at the intersections of race, gender, and neurodivergence.

  • Our specially designed toolkits help make your invisible needs visible. Each one supports unmasking, self-advocacy, sensory awareness, and finding the systems that align with how you move through the world. Created with lived experience at the center, these tools are here to help you live more freely, fully, and authentically.

  • We’ve created a range of neurodivergent-friendly downloadable resources to support your everyday needs. Designed with your mind in mind, these tools offer structure, self-regulation strategies, and helpful checklists to make life a little more manageable; and a lot more affirming.

  • Our educational videos are a free resource offering in-depth insight rooted in real autistic experiences, research, and data. They combine lived expertise with evidence-based knowledge to deepen understanding and support meaningful learning about autism—especially within and for our community.

  • We share updated research that contributes to the growing body of knowledge on autism and highlight studies that are actively reshaping how autism is understood. Our focus is on inclusion, innovation, and intersectionality—centering research that reflects real experiences and moves the field forward. We also call attention to the lack of diversity in most autism research and advocate for more representation across race, gender, and neurotype.
