Abstract
- Influenced by revolutionary mothering, activists of color, and radical feminists, this article explores Neurodivergent families through the lens of Disability Critical Race Theory. As a parent of an Autistic child, I embark on redefining my role by integrating art and design into community advocacy for Autistic communities. I challenge unjust stigmas by breaking visual cycles within social and clinical practices. This journey culminated in the creation of "KnoxRoxs," a photo zine dedicated to my Autistic son, aimed at increasing visibility for children of color in Neurodiverse communities. I emphasize the multifaceted nature of Neurodivergent mothering, involving caregiving, community engagement, and creative resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
