Black Mom Raising Autistic Son Gets Diagnosed Herself With Autism Later in Life, Says the System Fails Black Women

 Amina Phelps, an African American woman from Atlanta, Georgia, was raising her autistic 9-year-old son A.J. when she began to suspect that she herself may also be autistic. Sure enough, doctors diagnosed her with autism, even though she’s already in her 40’s. The shocking news and late diagnosis inspired her to write a book called Hidden in Plain Sight: A Journey of Autism, Motherhood, and Self-Discovery about how Black women with autism are often rendered invisible in conversations about neurodiversity, sidelined by systemic bias in research, resources, and public perception.

In her book, Amina courageously confronts this erasure while redefining what it means to thrive as a neurodivergent Black woman. Drawing from her lived experiences, she shines a light on the double-edged sword of being a Black woman with undiagnosed autism — a reality many women face due to the persistent white, male-centric lens of autism diagnosis and research. This deeply personal memoir is not just a call for representation but also an indictment of a system that routinely fails Black women and girls by misdiagnosing or overlooking their struggles altogether.

You Are Not Average:

Rising from the Depths of

Loss to the Heights of Love

By Dr. Marlyn S. Wright

Life is a journey filled with peaks and valleys, triumphs and trials.

Through my own experiences, I’ve learned that resilience isn’t just a word—it’s a way of life. It’s a mindset that allows us to rise above what life throws at us, reminding us that we are not average.

In 2016, my world shattered with the sudden loss of my eldest son. Just three years later, my heart broke again with the passing of my late husband.

These tragedies brought me to the brink of despair, plunging me into a battle with grief and depression.  As a pastor, I was called to uplift and lead others while secretly feeling as though I was drowning in my own pain.
