    And this trend of criminalizing rather than educating our children holds true even when said child of color is VISIBLY and OBVIOUSLY disabled. One black mother I talked to told me her child, was hitting himself, biting himself,not speaking, and had frequent meltdowns--and he did not receive an autism diagnosis until he was 12. Instead he received a ODD diagnosis.That horror of a label, Oppositional Defiant Disorder. And yes, it means exactly what it sounds like it means: misbehaving/criminal behavior

    Exactly! These issues are bad in isolation, and then compound one another for children of color with disabilities. smh
