This is a critical article on delayed identification and service for Black and Latinx children: "Studies point to inequalities in diagnosis rates for conditions like autism spectrum disorder. A study in the journal Pediatrics found that Black children are diagnosed with autism on average more than three years after their parents express concerns about their development. That’s generally several months later than their white peers, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Latinx children are diagnosed less often with ASD than their white and Black peers, a March report by the CDC showed." https://www.disabilityscoop.com//how-families-are-/29070/
