Guest post by Lydia X. Z. Brown, autistic attorney and disability justice advocate.
Students of color – especially Black, Brown, and Native students – are disproportionately over- and under-identified as disabled throughout their schooling. School systems administrators are quick to make spurious diagnoses of stigmatized and criminalized disabilities for students of color. They’re also far less likely to accurately identify learning and developmental disabilities when actually present in the same population.

In truth, all levels of racism have to be dismantled to achieve justice and liberation. But that might be hard to witness if the discourse only shows one type. Let’s look at the four types of racism – internalized racism, interpersonal racism, institutional racism, and structural racism – to understand how it persists in society entirely (Race Forward).

Resmaa Menakem It Happened To Your People
The Kiloby Center for Recovery

If something happening to you doesn't make sense, you will either internalize it as something wrong with you or dissociate. Then we smoke weed or do something to get away. You're not defective. Something happened to you. Something has happened to your people.
