This is a lovely and amazing initiative!! 

I already have a mate in mind. However, due to a combination of health and neurodiversity stuff, I am not sure he has the capacity at the moment to read it all and fill in the form etc. I really think he needs a break and something positive, so this would be ace.

Anyways, possibly relevant for others as well, for folk who face this situation but are not in urgent crisis, which procedure do you suggest is best to follow as?

Thank you, 
Dyi

I am super massively excited to announce the launch of the Fund for Community Reparations for Autistic People of Color’s Interdependence, Survival, and Empowerment!

I'm partnering with the Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network, with seed funding from the American Association of People with Disabilities Hearne Award, to making $8350 USD available for direct support, mutual aid, and community reparations for autistic people of color worldwide – unrestricted. 

We are launching the fund exactly one year after we published All the Weight of Our Dreams: On Living Racialized Autism, the first-ever (but hopefully not last!) anthology entirely by autistic people of color and otherwise negatively racialized autistic people. 

Learn more about how to apply for funding, or donate to the fund to keep it going and growing.
