Acknowledging Intersectionality: An Autoethnography of a Black School Counselor Educator and Father of a Student with Autism
Michael D. Hannon
Journal of Negro Education, v86 n2 p154-162 Spr 2017
Black families and White families are affected by autism in different ways. Little scholarship acknowledges these differences, especially those communicated by Black fathers of students with autism. In this article, I share an evocative autoethnography which highlights how my cultural, familial, and occupational identities intersect and confound my experience as a Black father of a student with autism. The narrative focuses the negotiation between my son's schoolteachers and staff and my wife and I as we determine educational services in his Individualized Education Plan.
