In this episode of Black Girl Diagnosed, we’re joined by Destiny Huff, a late-diagnosed Autistic and ADHD mental health professional, licensed therapist, and non-attorney special education advocate.

With over 15 years of experience working across early childhood, K–12 schools, foster care systems, and mental health services, Destiny brings a powerful blend of professional expertise and lived experience. She is also the mother of two neurodivergent learners with IEPs, giving her firsthand insight into how overwhelming and isolating the special education system can feel for families.

Destiny shares why strong collaboration between schools and families is essential, what parents should know about advocating at the IEP table, and how Black families can feel more confident and informed when supporting their neurodivergent children. She also reflects on her own late diagnosis and how it shaped her parenting, advocacy, and commitment to neuroaffirming care.

This episode is a must-listen for parents, caregivers, and anyone navigating special education and disability advocacy. 🎧
