New in Autism Spectrum News: Facing stigma, finding support
July 14, 2025
In a new story for Autism Spectrum News, Autism Speaks’ Marta Chmielowicz shares the journey of Georgina Perez Liz, a mother and researcher who fought to get her son the autism diagnosis and support he needed while navigating cultural stigma and a healthcare system not built with her family in mind.
Autism Speaks is proud to support Hispanic and Latino families like Georgina’s by expanding access to early screening tools, Spanish-language resources and culturally responsive care that respects each family’s values and lived experience.
