Reviews

"""Dingus-Eason deftly captures Black mothers' savvy, resilience, agency, protectiveness, wisdom, and critiques in the face of systemic inequities. The book offers both a nuanced, strength-based view of Black families and a holistic portrait of the social service, health, education, and law enforcement sectors. Accessible, poignant, and compelling, it will appeal to scholars from multiple disciplines and Black families caring for children with autism."" — Camille M. Wilson, coeditor of Advancing Equity and Achievement in America’s Diverse Schools: Inclusive Theories, Policies, and Practices"
