Can black or Hispanic people be autistic too?
I’m black and I’m asking this because people always tell me that only white people can be autistic which is not true at all

Autism can affect anyone of any ethnicity. And young African American males have 3 to 5 times the chance of developing an Autism spectrum disorder than their white counterparts do. The most common ASD in young black males is Fragile X, which is hereditary and not the result of vaccines or environmental influences.
