Abstract in brief

  • This study investigates why there are racial and ethnic disparities in autism diagnosis and special education services, highlighting that minorities often face inequitable evaluations and assessments.
  • Even when children show behavioral signs consistent with autism, only about 72% actually receive autism-specific eligibility for educational support, and factors like behavioral characteristics and evaluation details influence this outcome.
  • While race and ethnicity do not directly predict the absence of autism eligibility when other factors are considered, disparities may still stem from unequal evaluation experiences, emphasizing the need to address these inequities in educational assessments.
